Storm Corrie to batter Scotland as Met Office issue new severe weather warning

Scotland is bracing for a second storm after being battered by Storm Malik.

Weather experts at the Met Office are warning Scots to prepare for Storm Corrie which is to 'bring further very unsettled weather'.

The 'deep low pressure system' will arrive on Sunday into Monday in the United Kingdom but will especially target the north of the country.

It comes as Storm Malik has already begun wreaking chaos with gale force winds.

The brutal weather is causing trouble for rail passengers with nearly 200 trains cancelled today.

In a tweet the Met Office said: "Although storm #Malik will take its strong #winds away eastwards from the UK later today, another deep low pressure system just named #StormCorrie by the #MetOffice will bring further very unsettled weather, especially to Scotland later Sunday into Monday. Updates to follow."

It expects to record severe winds between 50mph and 75mph.

The Met Office issued three wind warnings on Friday ahead of Storm Malik, later upgrading one to amber.

The storm is set to bring travel disruptions, flooding and power cuts as the strong gusts batter the country.

Named by the Danish Meteorological Institute, Storm Malik is expected to bring in gusts reaching up to 80mph in coastal areas, but more widely 60mph, as it tracks eastwards towards Denmark.

The Met Office said: "Although storm Malik will take its strong #inds away eastwards from the UK later today, another deep low pressure system just named Storm. Corrie by the Met. Office will bring further very unsettled weather, especially to Scotland later Sunday into Monday."
