Two named storms are set to strike Britain this week during a late winter rampage, the Met Office has confirmed.
The low pressure systems - named Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice - could see strong hurricane-like winds of up to 90mph and the possibility of snow, leading to a flurry of weather warnings.
Dudley has resulted in an amber danger to life warning from 6pm on Wednesday until 9am on Thursday - covering a strip of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
