Summary

On November 15, 2025, the UK is bracing for a shift in weather conditions as a yellow alert for cold weather has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). This comes after heavy downpours that battered parts of England and Wales on the previous Friday.
The Environment Agency has warned that flooding will continue throughout the weekend, with 156 flood alerts and 33 flood warnings currently in place. While the worst of Storm Claudia appears to be over, the storm is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds through Friday evening and overnight.
Looking ahead, the Met Office predicts that the torrential rain is likely to continue into the weekend before colder weather sets in from Sunday. This colder air will bring overnight frosts, with lows of minus 5°C possible in rural Scotland by Monday. The cold weather alert is in place from November 17 to November 21, covering the East Midlands, West Midlands, North East, North West, and Yorkshire and The Humber.
