Storm surge is also a concern. Storm Ciarán is shaping up to be a very impactful storm for parts of northwest Europe.
 

Storm Ciarán: Authorities warn of more disruption after heavy flooding hits country’s east coast​

Regions across the country were on Tuesday grappling with significant damage caused by flooding after a month of sustained rainfall, as the threat of more heavy showers in the coming days loomed.

In Northern Ireland, Newry experienced “unprecedented levels of flooding” after the city’s canal broke its banks overnight, with several streets in the city centre left under water on Tuesday. In Banbridge, Co Down, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) warned on Tuesday afternoon that the level of the River Bann had risen “dangerously high”.

A red wind warning, the highest level, has been issued by Jersey Met for Wednesday night into Thursday, with storm-force gusts, heavy rainfall and coastal flooding.

Key developments include:
Yellow rain warnings have been issued for eastern England, London, the South East, South West, North West, West Midlands and Wales from 18:00 on Wednesday.
Yellow warnings of wind have been issued for the East of England, London, South East, South West and Wales from 21:00 on Wednesday to 23:59 on Thursday.

In Scotland, a yellow warning of rain has been issued for parts of south west, central and eastern areas from 03:00 to 15:00 on Wednesday, and for the south west and Lothian Borders from 06:00 Thursday to 06:00 Friday. An earlier warning for rain in Northern Ireland has been cancelled.

 
Paraguay

500 families affected by flooding in Ayolas


The intense flooding of the Paraná river also left several families affected in Ayolas, and 500 families have already been evacuated from critical areas. The normal flow of the river in this area is 1.80 meters, but with the rains it rose to 6 meters.

According to estimates, the river level reached 6 meters, when in normal conditions its level is 1.80 meters, which gives an idea of the magnitude of the phenomenon, which could even worsen as forecasts indicate more rains in the coming days.
