Storm Jocelyn is anticipated to unleash its impact on Britain, with forecasts indicating the likelihood of widespread travel disruption across the country. The impending storm raises concerns about potential chaos in transportation systems across the affected regions.
Storm Jocelyn has been named by Met Éireann and is expected to bring robust winds and substantial rainfall to the UK on Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday.
The storm season commenced with Agnes, which delivered heavy rain and gusts of 70mph to the UK in late September. Subsequently, storms Babet, Ciarán, Debi, Elin, Fergus, Gerrit, Henk, and Isha followed.
The damaging gusts and heavy rains are likely to impact the day-to-day functioning of the commuters who faced a tough time on Monday in the aftermath of Storm Isha.
