Heavy rain and strong winds are due to strike this morning and are likely to affect transport links and trigger floods. With strong winds and heavy rain, UK weather experts have warned that conditions amount to a "perfect storm" with hundreds of homes at risk of flooding.This includes amber warnings from midday on Saturday over southern Scotland, northern England, Wales and part of the southwest saying that flooding could cause a danger to life. Power cuts are also expected and there is a good chance train and buses will see cancellations or delays and roads closed. The Environment Agency said flooding is likely to be worse than under last weekend's Storm Ciara due to rain falling on already saturated ground. #StormDennis will bring some heavy and prolonged period of rainfall through today.
