Met Office issues UK weather warnings with more strong winds to come in wake of Storm Kathleen

Parts of the UK are set for further wet and windy weather in the wake of Storm Kathleen in the coming days. The Met Office has issued more weather warnings for wind and rain affecting coastal regions of England and a large area of Scotland.

As Storm Kathleen eases another weather system towards the south west of the UK will replace it bringing blustery conditions and some showers, according to the Met Office.

Recent satellite images show that the spiral of cloud associated with Storm Kathleen is now sitting just to the northwest of the UK, the forecasters said. Another Atlantic weather system is now "gathering to the southwest", the weather agency said.
