A MET Office map reveals Storm Herminia's wrath with 80mph wind and flash floods rampaging across the UK. The latest named storm comes after Eowyn killed two people over the weekend and caused major disruption, with some Brits warned to stay indoors. The national forecaster says the next few days look "set to remain very unsettled".

A series of yellow warnings for wind and rain have been issued for large parts of England and Wales with more than 40 flood warnings in place. Parts of Wales and central, southern and northern England are under a 24-hour warning for strong and gusty winds from the same time.

Flooding saw stretches of the A36 and A303 closed in Devon and Wiltshire overnight, while National Rail said services were running normally between Taunton and Castle Cary after flooding. Most of the 40 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, issued by the Environment Agency cover the south west and south coast, the two warnings issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
