SNOW and ice warnings have been issued to Brits as Storm Eowyn continues to batter parts of the UK. THE Met Office have urged Brits to “be prepared” with a number of snow and ice

A new warning is in place in Northern Ireland and western Scotland for wind, snow and ice from 6pm to 10am the following day. About 10cm of slush will form in the Scottish Highlands, forecasters say. Damaging gales of up to 55mph will lash northwestern Scotland today, according to a second yellow weather warning.

A further yellow wind warning stretching from the south coast up to north east England is in place from 10pm on Sunday until 7am on Monday, while a rain warning covering southern and central England and Wales is in place until 6am on Monday. Another rain warning over most of Wales will remain in place until 11:59pm on Monday.

Storm forecasters say "a strong event cannot be ruled out" in the UK - with an explosive cyclogenesis caused by a major drop in air pressure bringing the "risk of a few tornados".

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 has unleashed powerful winds of up to 83mph across Britain as well as prolonged rainfall, as Met Office weather warnings remain in place for most of England and Wales. More than 50 flood warnings have been issued by the Environment Agency,

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
