Storm Conall live: Met Office warns two weeks of rain could lash UK ...

The third named storm of the season, called Conall, comes just days after Storm Bert left hundreds of homes flooded, turned roads into rivers and saw winds of more than 80mph in parts of the UK.

Police were investigating whether the weather was linked to the deaths.
