Once we have more detailed information, we will issue the necessary flood alerts and warnings.
David Cameron said: “We need to sit down and look at what we are planning to build, what we are planning to spend and see if more can be done”.
An eerie calm before the storm yesterday saw storm-battered Britons enjoy a bank holiday respite ahead of next onslaught.
“These wind speeds will reach up to 65 km/h, with gusts hitting close to 110 km/h”, the forecaster said.
Areas along the Shannon and Lee rivers are preparing for more flooding with emergency co-ordination groups being convened by local authorities in Clare, Limerick and Westmeath.
Swathes of the country face a nightmare similar to the 2013/14 floods which left Somerset and the southwest under water for more than a month.
Met Éireann said that upwards of 40 mm of rain is expected in these areas over the next 24 hours from this afternoon. Winds are expected to occasionally reach strong gale force between Mizen Head and Erris Head.
The rain from Storm Frank will continue to be heavy Wednesday morning will clear eastwards to heavy showers in the afternoon, some wintry and with the risk of hail or thunder, especially in the west and northwest.
This is expected to increase by a further 9cm.
It states there will be heavy and prolonged rain and very strong winds are expected from the Irish Sea and around the western and southern Welsh coasts.
The floods also affected transport links in the North. Some 16 road closures were in effect in Cumbria, while Northern Rail urged passengers not to travel in Cumbria, East Lancashire and West Yorkshire unless their journey is “absolutely necessary”.
“The warning has been updated to bring forward the start time, chiefly for Northern Ireland”.
New Year’s Day is forecast to be brighter, colder and showery with a touch of frost, flawless for a New Year’s Day walk.

Two of the warnings are status orange and two are status yellow. “The previous wettest was December 2014 with 390.4mm”. The warning will be in place for 24 hours, starting from midday today.
