Storm Benjamin has been identified by Météo France and is set to bring rainy and blustery conditions to the United Kingdom on Thursday. However, the most significant impacts are anticipated to be experienced across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The Met Office has issued yellow severe weather warnings for both the wind and rain. Heavy rain is expected to move northeast across England and east Wales by Thursday. The warning for rain covers a large portion of southern and eastern England from midnight on Wednesday night until 21:00 BST on Thursday, with rainfall totals ranging from 20-30mm, potentially reaching 30-50mm in some areas.
