After the travel ban in the UK eased, people were very excited to visit places either in the UK or in other countries. Starting from 16th February however, a series of storms was about to mar those plans and bring chaos to the daily lives of the UK citizens.
Storm Dudley was the first storm to occur. The Met Office had issued a yellow weather warning for wind. A yellow weather warning is the lowest out of the three warnings and it means that people can carry out their normal activities, but some may get affected. The areas that were affected by the 90mph winds were northern and central England, southern and central Scotland, and some parts of Wales. Along with these winds, there has been heavy rain as well. For around 14,000 people in the North and hundreds in Scotland, Ireland, and East England, there have been power cuts due to bad weather conditions.

Storm Franklin arrived in the UK on Sunday. The Met Office issued “danger to life” warnings as Storm Franklin brought about flooding and high wind speeds of 87 mph. People were urged to avoid travel as much as possible due to the gale-like winds and heavy rains that had disrupted the transport system. The areas of East England especially, have been hit hard, along with the other previously-hit areas of Northern England and Scotland.
