The reason these floods, rain and high winds in Wales aren't a named storm like Eunice or Dennis

People in Wales today have woken up to heavy rain and flooding this morning. Several roads are completely submerged and there have been more than 20 flood warnings and up to 40 flood alerts in place.

The River Taff has burst its banks, and large parts of the Valleys including Tylorstown and Pontypridd have seen heavy flooding. In Nantymoel, the closed Bwlch Mountain road has turned into a waterfall, with water pouring off the mountain onto the road.

But despite the dire situation across much of Wales, the rain that's been falling since Wednesday evening has not officially been classified as a storm.
