Wind speeds reached up to 62mph on Monday as an area of low pressure brought strong gusts across the UK. The Met Office had issued a yellow 'be aware' weather warning for wind in parts of Wales and south-west England, which has since been lifted.
Fresh yellow warnings for rain and wind are now in place for some areas from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. The Met Office warned that 'longer journey times by road, rail and air are likely'.
Heavy rain is expected on Tuesday across Northern Ireland and southern Scotland, which may cause flooding. Strong winds with gusts of 55-65mph are also looking 'increasingly likely' on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, according to the Met Office.
The affected areas include the north of England, the Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, as well as south-west Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. A yellow warning indicates that people should 'plan ahead' for severe weather and pay attention to Met Office statements.
