Storm Herminia to batter UK with 80mph winds - full list of every area with Met Office warning
People are being urged to brace themselves for more strong winds and rain just hours after the "strongest storm in a decade". Storm Eowyn battered the country on Friday with one peak gust provisionally recorded at 100mph in Drumalbin in Lanarkshire.
One person died and homes and businesses were left seriously damaged as a result of the violent winds. Travellers also faced chaos with flights and other transport cancelled.
Now people are being warned about a new storm which is set to hit the UK and Ireland. Storm Herminia, which has been named by the Spanish meteorological office, will hit first in the South West before moving across much of the rest of the country.

The Met Office has put a yellow weather warning in place starting from 8am today. It says "injuries and danger to life" are a possibility with wind gusts expected of up to 80mph.
Rain warnings are currently in place across eight areas. These are East Midlands, East of England, London & South East England, North West England, South West England, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber.
Wind warnings are in place for seven areas. These are East Midlands, East of England, London & South East England, North East England, South West England, West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber.
The worst hit is likely to be the South West which was facing warning of strong winds from 6am until 11am on Sunday with forecasts of them reaching gusts of up to 75mph. Further warnings remain in place for the area running from 6am on Monday until 6am on Tuesday.
Issuing the wind warning the Met Office said: "A brief (in any one location) spell of very strong winds is possible overnight Sunday into Monday, moving northeastwards across parts of the highlighted region. Gusts of 55-65 mph are possible, should this spell develop, with a very small chance of localised gusts of up to 80 mph, particularly near coasts.
"Confidence remains very low with regards to the track of this development, if it occurs. The strongest winds will probably only affect a narrow swathe somewhere within the broader warning area."
It advised people to:
Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly. When a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
It said of the rain warning: "A period of heavy rain is likely to affect central and southern England and much of Wales during Sunday morning followed by some heavy, thundery showers. Quite widely, 10-20 mm will fall, with locally nearer 30-50 mm over high ground, particularly over exposed south or southeast-facing upslopes.
"It's then likely that a further spell of heavy rain may develop and affect parts of England and Wales on Sunday evening, clearing early Monday and should this be the case a few places may see as much as 80 mm of rain in total.
"Given recent heavy rain, this extra rainfall could lead to some local surface water and river flooding." You can get more localised details for your exact area at the Met Office website.
