BRITS have been told “not to travel” as the country is pummelled by 80mph winds brought by Storm Herminia just days after Storm Eowyn wreaked havoc. A new weather front has arrived in

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 yellow rain warning across Wales and the West Midlands predicts some places seeing as much as 40mm of rain on top of a widespread 20 to 30mm of rain expected, as well as isolated totals of 50 to 60mm through Tuesday before rain and showers begin to ease in the evening.

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.

UK weather expert Jim Dale has warned that Storm Eowyn and Storm Herminia are just the start of a "trend" of major storms that could hit the UK in the coming years

Storm Herminia is set to batter the UK with heavy winds just 48 hours after Storm Eowyn blasted parts of Britain with record-breaking gusts of 100mph
