FORECASTERS are warning of further disruption this week as Storm Ciarán heads our way, just days after Storm Babet.
Weather warnings have been issued for most parts of the UK until Thursday this week, but currently Calne and surrounding areas are only under a warning for Wednesday (1/11) and Thursday (2/11).
Storm Ciarán is set to bring strong winds and heavy rain.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Almond said: "Winds associated with Storm Ciarán are likely to gust to 80mph along the south coast of England, with a small risk of somewhere exposed seeing 90mph, and winds could even gust up to 50mph or 60mph further inland."
He added: "This deep low-pressure system will also bring heavy rain to much of the UK, but the heaviest rain is expected in southern and western areas with 20 to 25mm quite widely across the region but up to 40 to 60mm potentially over higher ground.
"Heavy and persistent rain will fall on to already saturated ground bringing a risk of further impacts such as flooding in areas that are already struggling to clean up from the heavy rainfall we have seen over the last week or so."
Adam Simpkins - 'Wiltshire Storm Chaser' said: "Potential for a destructive storm in Wiltshire on Wednesday into Thursday. Models showing central pressure of 950 MB at the moment. The strongest winds look to stay south of Wiltshire however, a slight shift north could bring the winds closer to home."
