The areas facing new weather warnings over 70mph winds – and when they’ll end ...Middle East

The Met Office has issued two further weather warnings for strong winds and heavy rain after two storms struck Britain across the weekend.

Yellow wind warnings will be in place for western areas of the UK on Monday and Tuesday as gales and spells of rain bring the potential for ongoing disruption, particularly around exposed coasts and higher ground, the Met Office said.

The continued winds could also hamper recovery efforts in some places after Storm Boelo hit the north of the UK, bringing 84mph gusts and a third of a month’s usual rainfall to areas of Scotland.

Two men were killed by falling trees on Sunday – a man in his 20s in Finchley, north London, and a 60-year-old man in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. The latter has been named as Richard Baines, the curator of the Logan Botanic Garden.

Two women were also taken to hospital after they were struck by another falling tree in Aberfeldy, Perth and Kinross.

Power cuts hit 838,700 properties during Boelo and its predecessor, Storm Austen.

At 8am on Monday, 39,000 customers were still without power, the Energy Networks Association, which represents operators in the UK and Ireland, said.

In Aberdeenshire, 13 primary schools without power were shut on Monday.

Strong winds across the west of the UK

The cleanup comes as a fresh yellow warning for wind has been issued from 6pm on Monday until 3am on Tuesday.

The warning – covering parts of north-west England, Northern Ireland, south-west England, Strathclyde, south-west Scotland and Wales – forecasts gusts of 45-50mph inland and 60-65mph along exposed coasts and over high ground.

It adds that the strong winds will be accompanied by heavy rain at times, and there could be some disruption.

A yellow Met Office warning for strong winds and potentially damaging gusts is in place from 3am on Tuesday to midnight for the far north of England, Scotland, and the far north-east of Northern Ireland.

Monday will remain wet and windy as rain moves across southern and western areas before spreading north-east, which brings the potential for coastal flooding, particularly in northern areas, the Met Office said.

As this clears, drier conditions will develop across England and Wales later in the day.

On Tuesday, early rain will clear eastern and south-eastern England, while heavier rain in the north west of Scotland gradually turns to showers, the forecaster said.

70mph gusts possible in Scotland

The strongest winds will continue to affect Scotland, particularly in the far north and northwest where gusts of more than 70mph are possible.

The Hebrides are most likely to experience the strongest winds, which could potentially last several hours.

Elsewhere, there will be sunny spells and showers will continue, with some heavy in western areas.

The Met Office said that conditions will begin to settle down from Wednesday as high pressure increasingly begins to influence the UK.

This will bring lighter winds and drier weather across much of the UK on Wednesday night and Thursday, though western areas may remain breezy and experience a few light showers.

Mist and fog could be dense and slow to clear, leaving some areas chilly and grey, while brighter spells elsewhere will allow temperatures to rise into the teens.

High pressure will keep England and Wales mostly dry on Friday, with morning fog clearing to sunny spells and temperatures of 13C to 16C, the Met Office said.

Met Office deputy chief forecaster Steven Keates said: “While the start of this week will be notably wet and windy, high pressure is expected to bring a quieter spell of weather later in the week.

“From Wednesday, high pressure will start to build, which will ease the winds and bring a quieter and largely drier end to the week for many, although some rain is still possible in the north and west.

“However, with wind warnings in place, those in warning areas, particularly in northern Scotland and western high ground, continue to be exposed to strong winds and heavy rain before the more settled weather arrives.”

The Environment Agency on Monday issued 13 warnings that flooding is expected and 44 alerts where it is possible.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said 33 flood warnings and 13 flood alerts were in place, while Natural Resources Wales reported three flood warnings and 14 flood alerts were active at the same time.

Sefton, Thurrock and Hackney are among the areas where households are most at risk of flash flooding as El Niño increases the risk of wet weather this autumn.

The Government is launching a new taskforce to prepare Britain for extreme weather, initially focusing on potential flooding this winter. 

The Met Office has previously warned of an increased likelihood of wetter-than-normal conditions across the country in late autumn and early winter.
