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

A warning for periods of heavy rain that could cause some flooding of roads and properties was in place for the West Midlands and most of Wales until 11.59pm on Monday with the Met Office predicting 20mm to 40mm to fall quite widely and 50mm to 70mm on higher ground.

Having waved goodbye to Storm Eowyn over the weekend and with the Isle of Man settling back into relative calm, the Met Office has issued a new advisory for windy conditions today. Although far less intense, a yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping remains in effect until midday.

The Met Office has released a new 27-hour weather warning with "thunderstorms possible" in Somerset and Devon.

Brighton, London, Leicester, and Nottingham are some of the cities that will see the strong spells starting from 10 pm today, with the warning ending at 7 am the following day (Monday 27 January). The warning set for Northern Ireland, including Belfast, is set to end at 7 pm.
