Strong winds hit the south-west of England on Sunday, with Predannack, in south Cornwall, recordeding gusts of 80mph from the new storm, named Herminia. The Met Office has issued four yellow weather warnings, saying injuries and "danger to life" were a possibility.

With trees and buildings already damaged by Storm Eowyn, there is greater risk than normal from Storm Herminia, with weather warnings in place into next week.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “The strongest gusts are likely to be felt across parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, north-western Wales and western Scotland, where exposed sites could get gusts in excess of 80mph, which has the potential to cause impacts for those in these areas.
