Winter is coming... and the UK is bracing itself for gusty winds, heavy rain and freezing temperatures from today (Monday), according to forecasters. A yellow wind warning is covering areas of south-west England and South Wales between 6am and 6pm, with gusts of 55mph to 65mph on land, and 70mph to 80mph in coastal areas.
A yellow rain warning covers much of Northern Ireland between 6am and midnight. A third weather warning is in place in Scotland, with a yellow ice warning covering the north east of the country until about 9.30am.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said two areas of low pressure were set to bring “very wet and windy weather” to parts of the UK. “We’ve got two areas of low pressure that are coming towards the UK tonight and into tomorrow," he said.
