As Storm Conall passed over England, nearly 50mm of rain fell on Dartmoor and 20-30mm in some other parts of southern England. But many of the areas that were flooded during Storm Bert saw less rain with totals at around 3mm-8mm, so further problems were averted.

Storm Conall has caused disruptions at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, plus heavy rainfall in the northern coastal areas of the Netherlands.
