Another storm heading for the UK with more high wind and heavy rain

More high winds and heavy rain are heading straight for the UK with a 100mph storm set to barrel off the Atlantic next weekend.

The UK is still feeling the impact of Storm Ciara which cut power to 20,000 homes, brought down trees, created widespread flooding and saw major traffic and travel disruption.

Buildings have been left damaged with the 80mph winds lasting through the weekend and into Monday.

Warnings remain in place for Tuesday and Wednesday with snow now coming in to Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England - forecast to be up to 20cm in places.

And the Met Office says even when the current weather system passes, another storm is set to hit.

Winds look set to gust at up to 60mph across the UK with the forecast for next Friday, Valentine's Day, showing heavy rain and high winds across the country.

Winds will approach 60mph in the South West, South East, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The North East looks set to avoid the worst of the gales and torrential downpours.

The forecast for Friday and next weekend reads: "A very windy, wet spell of weather looks increasingly likely next weekend giving widespread gales."

The Met Office says unsettled weather is set to continue for some time.
