The family of a 21-year-old man died of a storm after a torrential rain caused by storm Callum paid tribute to a "handsome son".

Corey Thomas Sharpling was killed on Saturday near the village of Cwmduad in Carmarthenshire, in western Wales, the Dyfed-Powys police said.

Mr. Sharpling, of Newcastle Emlyn, is one of two people who died when Callum devastated the western and coastal regions on Friday and Saturday.

Elsewhere, a 38-year-old man was swept away by rough seas in Brighton, East Sussex, around 1:30 am on Saturday.

It was found in the water near Brighton Palace Pier and was confirmed dead by paramedics, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency announced.

Mr. Sharpling's family paid tribute in a statement: "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our son-in-law Corey. Many knew his spirit, his charm and his sense of loyalty and we take these things with us in our hearts. "

Callum sank on Sunday with a rain band heading east and bringing a "reversal of fortune" and cooler conditions.

Met Office meteorologist Luke Miall said: "In the afternoon and evening, rain will begin to dissipate in the North Sea, but we are witnessing a new series of heavy rains in the south and the South-East.

"One or two showers in the far northwest, but between much clearer clouds and a cold night, with some frosts and a few foggy clouds at dawn, it will be a chilly start to the new work week. "

The rain will persist in the southeast, while the rest of the UK is expected to experience generally very dry weather conditions on Monday.

Warm weather will bring relief to the communities affected by the storm Callum. After flooding rivers, houses flooded and the elimination of electricity supply.

Wales was most affected by wind and rain, and residents were asked to stay away from Carmarthen after the overflow of the Towy River.

A hundred sheep were taken to the village of Pontargothi in Carmarthenshire.

Other parts of the east and south-east of the United Kingdom largely escaped the anger of the storm and benefited from generally warm sun conditions.

In Lincolnshire, Donna Nook reached 26.5 ° C on Saturday, making it the hottest October day of the last seven years.
