Wind and rain to hit UK as weather warnings issued
Another yellow wind warning comes into force at 15:00 GMT on Thursday in south-west Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, northern England, the Midlands and East Anglia.
It is valid until 06:00 GMT on Friday and warns that gusts of 40-50mph (64-80km/h) are likely in inland areas. Coastal spots could see gusts of 70mph (113km/h) with the risk of disruption to travel, including ferry services.
A third yellow warning – for rain and wind – covers almost all of England and Wales from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning.
Up to 25mm (1in) of rain may fall quite widely but high ground in the west may see 50-70mm (2-3in), including in parts of Wales that were badly affected by Storm Bert less than two weeks ago.
