Prelude
Storm Ciarán was named by the United Kingdom's Met Office on 29 October, while the Free University of Berlin in Germany named the system Emir on 30 October. It was expected to bring winds of 90 to 120 km/h (60 to 70 mph) widely with >130 km/h (>80 mph) on some coasts. More heavy rainfall was expected to fall which would exacerbate the flooding from Storm Babet a week prior.
The Met Office's long-range forecast stated that Storm Ciarán would move away on 3 November, with many places still with blistering winds and rain spells.{{Cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/weather/1829649/warning-storm-ciaran-met-office|title=Met Office fears brutal new storm chaos will come hours after Ciáran|first=Victoria|last=Chessum|date=30 October 2023|website=Express.co.uk}} The Channel Islands were due to be hit with gusts around {{cvt|95|mph|km/h}} with schools closed and a red weather warning in place.
