The UK is braced for more wild weather with a new storm battering the country. The Met Office has issued yellow alerts for wind and rain for southern England and Wales this morning, with Storm Herminia set to cause flooding and power interruption to London and the surrounding areas.This comes just days after Storm Éowyn caused destruction throughout Scotland with 100mph winds, torrential rain and sadly claimed the lives of two people.

Railway crews are still dealing with the aftermath of the storm as there were an unprecedented 500 incidents to tackle over the weekend.The rare red weather warning on Friday, January 24, caused around 100,000 Scots to be left without power.

Storm Éowyn's galeforce blasts caused severe damage, with trees being blown over, roofs damaged, fences destroyed, and large amounts of debris flying off buildings.

As the weather has begun to settle in Scotland, the Met Office has issued new alerts for Eowyn's successor; Storm Herminia. The forecaster has issued a "danger to life" warning for the weatherfront, which has approached the UK from Spain.London has already been under yellow warnings of wind since 6am on Monday morning, and forecasters are expecting this to reach galeforce level across southern England between now and tomorrow morning, reports the Mirror.Heavy rain is set to cover the southern region until 10am tomorrow, which could turn into lightning and hail as the storm worsens.
