THE exact time Storm Herminia is expected to roll in, bringing 75 mph gusts, comes just hours after the "strongest storm in a decade". A spell of "very strong" wind and "heavy rain" has led to the Met office putting a yellow weather warning in place. With injuries and "danger to life" a possibility, those in the South West of England could face gusts of up to 75mph.

Following Storm Eowyn, which battered residents across the nation earlier this week, there seems to be little time for relief before Storm Herminia. Current yellow warnings are in place across the North West, East and South East of England. The Midlands, East of England and London have also been included.

Starting at eight this morning, current estimations predict the heavy rain and likely local flooding to continue until tomorrow. It is thought that 10-20 mm will fall "quite widely" with high ground areas potentially facing up to 50mm. Those in exposed south or southeast-facing upslopes are at particular risk.

Given recent conditions and Storm Eowyn, the extra rainfall could cause river flooding. As strong gales move in, trees and structures that have already been damaged this week could pose further risk. Snow and ice warnings are also in place until 10am today.

Yellow warnings continue to be in place from the start of the week. Disruption to transport and outages of power have been described as likely. Coastal routes and exposed areas will probably be affected by spray or large waves. Heavy rain from 6am tomorrow could bring "some disruption and flooding" to the West Midlands and much of Wales.
