Storm Bert, which hit England, Ireland and Scotland, caused the deaths of five people. It was reported that more than 150 floods were expected after the storm, which caused power outages and transportation disruptions. Bert forced hundreds of people to leave their homes in different parts of England, while a warning was issued for 10 regions to boil water before drinking.

A warning to boil water before drinking was issued for 10 regions in Wales after water treatment plants were affected by flooding following the storm. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer shared a post on social media platform X, stating that he had met with Wales Regional Prime Minister Eluned Morgan, and thanked the emergency services working in the region.
Welsh Police announced that a body was found in the afternoon search for 75-year-old Brian Perry, who went missing in the Conwy River in the north of the region.
A person in his 60s died when a tree fell on his car in the Hampshire region of England on Saturday, and a person in his 80s died when his car went into the water.
