New weather warnings have been issued – including a possible danger to life in some coastal areas – after Storm Kathleen brought disruption to parts of the UK and Ireland.
Planes struggled to land at some airports, with flights canceled and tens of thousands of people left without power as the storm brought winds of more than 70mph.
Now the Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for this week as a second low-pressure system moves in.
This has been named by French meteorological services as Storm Pierrick. The north of France will see the worst of the impacts but strong winds of up to 60mph will be felt around Wales and the southern coast of England.
The gusts in the southwest of England bring “a small chance that injuries or danger to life” could result from waves and debris, the Met Office said.
It also cautioned of the chance of power cuts and travel disruption.
Meanwhile, there are 226 flood alerts and warnings in place across England, Scotland and Wales.
Flooding is expected around Salisbury down south towards Bournemouth, as well as in Dumfries and Galloway, in the Western Isles, and Orkney.
