Storm Éowyn was "probably the strongest storm" to hit the UK in at least 10 years, the Met Office has said, with wind gusts in excess of 100mph (160km/h).

England and Wales are to be battered by high winds and heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday. The UK is still recovering from the fierce impact of Storm Éowyn last week, but must now brace itself for another weather system set to bring more flooding and transport disruption.

Another bout of extreme weather is set to bring even more disruption to the UK - just hours after Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc and was dubbed the 'worst storm since 1998'

Met Office weather warnings are in place across the UK today and will continue until Tuesday after Storm Eowyn's disruption. Thousands of homes and businesses across Ireland are without power after it saw record-breaking wind speeds yesterday.

Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves,” says the Met Office. Friday: the whole of the UK has Met Office warnings for wind, in Scotland snow,

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “The strongest gusts are likely to be felt across parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, north-western Wales and western Scotland, where exposed sites could get gusts in excess of 80mph, which has the potential to cause impacts for those in these areas.

The Met Office has issued fresh yellow weather warnings for snow, ice and strong winds in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland as Storm Eowyn continues to batter Britain.

More high winds and heavy rain are expected on Sunday as a new storm approaches the UK. The warning came as a 19-year-old man was confirmed to have died after he was hit by a tree while driving in East Ayrshire on Friday during Storm Éowyn.

Storm Éowyn is forecast to make landfall in Ireland late on Thursday before moving on to the rest of the UK on Friday according to Met Office models. The storm will bring gusts of 80mph to coastal areas and 60mph inland with potential for a danger to life caused by flying debris.

The Met Office has today issued a third weather warning for Kent. As KentLive has reported, an alert was given for heavy rain for parts of the county from 8am this morning (Sunday, January 26) until 6am tomorrow.
