As of 5pm Monday, 10 flood warnings remain in force across England and Wales, with the risk of disruption along parts of the River Severn in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

A further 57 flood warnings were also issued in areas including Dorset, Lancashire and Oxford.

Rain will move in from the southeast this evening. Elsewhere there are clear rain showers, with further showers in the north and west overnight. Patchy fog will form in central and south-eastern parts of England.

As the morning progresses the fog clears. Most places are dry and sunny. However, a band of denser clouds and showery rain will move southeast across parts of England and Wales.

On Wednesday the morning fog lifts and leaves many with a bright day. On Thursday the wind initially calmed down, but on Friday it gradually became wetter and windier from the west.

Storm Ashley has hit the news in recent days due to flooding, power outages and travel problems in parts of the UK.

Such extreme weather events often increase anxiety and stress and can also have a significant impact on our mental health.

The drama of floods and lightning strikes can be frightening. That's why PA spoke to experts who explained why storms affect us so badly and what we can do to cope.

“The weather can have a real impact not only on how we feel in the moment, but also on how we perceive the rest of the day and beyond,” explains Dr. Rachael Molitor, qualified psychologist and lecturer at Coventry University. “While sunlight has a positive effect on our mood due to its feel-good associations, dark, rainy and dreary weather can have the opposite effect.”

Media coverage of extreme weather events can also increase these feelings.

“Because much of the media coverage of storms is related to flooding, property damage and weather or life-threatening warnings, we are inundated with negative discussions surrounding storms, which leads to negative mood and therefore behavior changes,” notes the psychologist.

The unpredictability of storms can increase feelings of stress, fear and anxiety.
