Britain is bracing itself for more stormy weather, with forecasters warning of 90mph winds and blustery showers.
Wind and rain may cause travel disruption tomorrow which could leave commuters struggling to get back to work after the Christmas break.
The Met Office has issued yellow and amber weather warnings, indicating “severe or hazardous weather” with potential to “cause danger to life or widespread disruption”.
The worst-affected areas are expected to be northern England and northern parts of Wales.
John Griffiths, a forecaster for MeteoGroup UK, said: “There will be some very, very strong winds and blustery showers in places tomorrow.
“The winds will start to pick up this afternoon and evening. Tomorrow around 6am there will be some strong gusts of wind going up to 90mph.”
Helen Roberts, a forecaster from the Met Office, said: “The storm will push in from the west overnight, bringing wet and windy weather to much of the UK.
“There will be very strong gales inland at times and severe gales on the western coast.
“There will be about 10-20mm of rain for many areas, possibly 25mm in some locations.
“This is not a huge amount of rain but because it will be falling on very saturated land, even relatively small amounts of rain could cause further problems.”
The latest storm warning comes after thousands of people were left without power and hundreds were affected by floods over Christmas. The Environment Agency said yesterday there have been an estimated 1,000 reports of properties flooding in England.
Firefighters broke their strike in parts of England because of the storms earlier this week, and Gatwick Airport chiefs face a possible investigation into the chaos that ensued on Christmas Eve after a power outage at its North Terminal.
Just two months after Gatwick flights were hit by another storm, passengers complained of a lack of information and spoke of four-hour delays as more than 35 flights were cancelled.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it expected the West Sussex airport’s bosses to examine exactly what caused the chaos before deciding what further action to take.
