BREAKING Storm Conall to be third of season to wreak havoc – this is the place it is going to hit
Brits are bracing themselves for the wrath of the third storm of the season.
Storm Conall is expected to make its entrance tonight. It comes after killer Storm Bert brought torrential rain and major flooding, taking four lives over the weekend.
The Dutch weather service KNMI named the new storm Conall as it heads towards the south of England bringing an area of low pressure, Sky News reports.
Heavy rain will pour down on southern countries which will bring strong winds across the Netherlands later on Wednesday and into Thursday.

The Met Office said spells of rain, heavy in places, were likely to lead to some disruption on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning in parts of Kent, Essex, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and London, between 10pm and noon on Wednesday.
Similar conditions will also strike southern Devon.
Earlier, the Met Office warned more flooding is “likely” to hit the UK this week, with further potentially heavy rain arriving across southern areas alongside colder temperatures on Wednesday.
Environment Secretary Steve Reed said its impacts “should be less severe” than they were on Sunday and Monday morning, when Storm Bert struck western parts of England and Wales, as well as Northern Ireland.
As of Tuesday 11am, there are 113 flood warnings in England, including a severe flood warning for the River Nene at Billing Aquadrome and nearby business parks, and six flood warnings in Wales.
There are also 121 flood alerts – where flooding is “possible” rather than “expected” like flood warnings – across England.
