Mixed weather is expected in the coming week after Callum storm

The coming week should face a contrasting weather but no significant disruption after the end of the Callum storm Sunday.

Wales has experienced the worst floods the country has seen in decades as the storm swept the UK this weekend.

It claimed the lives of at least three people when rivers overflowed and entire cities flooded.

The storm eased Sunday with a band of rain heading east, resulting in a "reversal of fortune" and cooler conditions.

Meteorological Bureau forecaster Steven Keates has linked the rain to a time front enveloping storm Callum and to the remains of Hurricane Leslie, who hit Portugal and Spain with winds blowing at 200 km / h.

According to the forecaster, Sunday evening should be generally cloudy with torrential rains, sometimes strong, but the temperatures must remain at double digits.

Monday morning will be overcast and it will rain a bit, but it will be warmer in the sun.

According to the Met Office, most of the country will experience temperatures around 14/15 ° C, but places in the South East such as Kent could reach 18 ° C.

"It will be dark Monday morning. The day will start cold enough but temperatures will recover under the sun, "said Keates.

"There may be some coastal showers and temperatures a little below freezing in some places around Scotland, but Monday, apart from a few showers, it will be a nice day with light winds for the rest of the country.

"Once Monday's rain is over, the coming week will be colder than last week."

It will rain in the coming week and it will be windy on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially in Scotland.

"There could be fog Tuesday morning in the south," said Keates.

"In general, the weather will be nice, but nothing particularly disruptive."

Residents were asked to stay away from the town of Carmarthen, Wales, after the overflow of the Towy River during the Callum storm.

The authorities also asked members of the public to stay at home, avoid flooding and stay away from exposed or coastal areas.

Corey Thomas Sharpling died Saturday after a landslide near the village of Cwmduad in Carmarthenshire, in western Wales.

The 21-year-old family paid tribute to him in a statement: "We are sorry to see the tragic loss of our son-in-law."

Another man was killed when he was swept away by the rough seas in Brighton.

Emergency services also took two people out of a Wales marina Friday night during the storm, but one of them, a 32-year-old man from Penarth, died soon after.

A woman who was saved with him was released from the hospital without any injury.

According to Dyfed-Powys police, clean-up operations were underway in Wales on Sunday, but flooding continued to disrupt travel and a number of bridges in South Wales remained closed.
