A yellow weather warning for heavy rain with a risk of localised flooding has been issued by the Met Office. The warning is in place for Essex, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. It comes into force between 08:00 GMT on Sunday until 06:00 on Monday.

The Met Office has said that as Storm Éowyn weakens and clears to the northeast of the UK, Saturday will remain a breezy day everywhere with strong winds persisting in the north. It will be drier for many, with showers replacing persistent heavy rain, these wintry in the north, especially over higher ground.

The Met Office has warned London could see wind speeds of up to 50mph tomorrow caused by Storm Éowyn. European meteorologists have also warned the capital could see ‘tornado-style’ events.

A red weather warning has been issued for Northern Ireland on Friday, as dangerous Storm Éowyn heads towards the UK. The red warning for wind, posing a danger to life, has been issued, while an amber warning is in place for parts of Scotland and the north of England,
