Storm Herminia has led the Met Office to issue a host of new weather warnings for the UK this morning, with heavy rain and wind expected to hit the country over the next 24 hours

The Met Office has issued multiple yellow weather warnings as Storm Herminia, named by the Spanish meteorological office, batters the UK.

Yellow weather warnings for rain will continue into today after Storm Herminia caused disruption across parts of England and Wales. In more recent days, Storm Éowyn battered parts of the UK, including Merseyside, causing travel chaos in the region as a double yellow and amber weather warning for wind was issued.

Yellow weather warnings for wind and heavy rain have been issued for large parts of the UK as a new storm is set to wreak havoc following Éowyn last week.

Another bout of extreme weather is set to bring even more disruption to the UK - just hours after Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc and was dubbed the 'worst storm since 1998'

Hundreds of homes are without power and flood alerts have been issued as Storm Herminia hits Wales. A Met Office alert for heavy rain began at midday Sunday and remains in place until the end of Monday.
