UK weather forecast: Rain and wind<\/h3>\n

The Met Office<\/span> has issued weather warnings as Storm Fergus barrels across the country drenching already soaked parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

The second named storm<\/span> of the weekend will arrive in western areas later on Sunday (December 10) with yellow Met Office warnings for rain covering areas including north-east England, south-east Scotland and north-west Scotland.<\/p>\n

It comes after homes and cars in Leitrim Village, Ireland, were badly damaged after a possible tornado hit the area.<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called on Sunday afternoon after high winds flattened trees, tore the roof off a building and left debris strewn across a street.<\/p>\n

The Met Office said the storm – named by the Irish meteorological service, Met Eireann – could produce 30 to 40mm of rain, along with a risk of hail and thunder.<\/p>\n

The warnings are in place until Sunday evening for Scotland, and into Monday morning for north east England.<\/p>\n

Some 40 flood warnings for England have been issued by the Environment Agency and three by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n

The strongest winds are likely to hit south Wales and areas around the Bristol Channel, with a possibility of localised gales.<\/p>\n

Bad weather could cause delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport and coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities may be affected by spray and large waves, according to the forecaster.<\/p>\n

Simon Partridge from the Met Office said: “There will be some further spells of heavy rain, particularly in Wales and the north of England.<\/p>\n
