Storm Ciaran: Bodyboarders brave waves in Exmouth<\/h3>\n

Spain’s Met Office, Aemet, has named the next incoming storm Domingos, ahead of its expected landfall on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Domingos’ landfall comes less than two days after Storm Ciaran wreaked havoc across Europe, including in the UK.<\/p>\n

Storm Ciaran has caused more than 12 deaths across Western Europe, and many countries are still recovering from the widespread devastation and floodwaters.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Ciaran unleashed winds of 207km\/h (129 mph) and lashed southern England, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, as well as the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n

While Domingos is set to reach France on Saturday, according to M\u00e9t\u00e9o-France, the brunt of the storm will hit the Iberian peninsula.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Gouraud, from M\u00e9t\u00e9o-France, said that Domingos will have “much less of an impact on France than Ciaran” although there will be a “fairly substantial spell of rain” and “big waves” on the coast.<\/p>\n

He said that waves could reach more than ten metres between Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Domingos is set to intensify across Saturday and reach its peak on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Gilles Matricon, a French meteorologist for La Cha\u00eene M\u00e9t\u00e9o, said that winds from Domingos could reach up to 100 km\/h inland, and even 120-130 km\/h along the Atlantic coast in France.<\/p>\n

Mr Matricon also remarked that Ciaran was the second strongest storm in France since 1950, behind the storm of October 1987.<\/p>\n

Rub\u00e9n del Campo, a spokesman for Aemet, told El Pais that Storm Domingos “will circulate between the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles and its effects will be felt especially on Saturday”.<\/p>\n

He warned that the northwest of the peninsula as well as the Balearic Islands face strong gusts of wind of more than 70 to 80km\/ph inland, and up to 100 km\/ph in coastal and mountain areas.<\/p>\n

Del Campo said that Sunday “will also bring a significant sea storm, with waves that could reach or exceed eight metres in the Galician Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay and five metres in the Mediterranean”.<\/p>\n
