Storm Chandra has unleashed widespread travel disruption and significant flooding across much of the UK, as powerful winds and torrential rain battered the nation. The severe weather prompted the closure of the M48 Severn Bridge, while the Humber Bridge restricted high-sided vehicles.
National Rail issued warnings regarding potential impacts on South Western Railway services, with traffic between England and Wales diverted over the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge. Gwent Police confirmed the A40 was flooded between Abergavenny and Raglan, and sections of roads in Dorset, Somerset, and east Devon were also closed due to rising water. Snow was additionally forecast in parts of the country, as multiple weather warnings remained in force.
