BRITS are braced for more wet and windy weather this week after Storm Boelo killed two people and left 160,000 without power.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind which is currently in place for Tuesday from 3am to midnight.
The UK was battered by a weekend of wild weather brought by two storms in three days that saw gusts of up to 85mph and torrential downpours.
Brits have now been warned to monitor their travel routes and plan ahead as disruption could hit all modes of transport in the latest yellow weather warning.
There is a slight chance that power cuts and damage to properties may occur, according to the Met Office.
The yellow weather warning for wind covers parts of Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has issued 10 warnings that flooding is expected and 65 alerts where it is possible.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency said 10 flood warnings and 11 flood alerts were in place.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said conditions would improve today, before more rain and wind arrives on Tuesday.
He said: “There are more heavy rain and strong winds to come because of a deepening area of low pressure – another one – which is heading towards us.
“All be it, this low doesn’t look as deep or is coming quiet as close as Boelo did.”
The Met Office forecast for today reads: “On Monday rain will sweep northeast across the UK, with strengthening winds bringing gales in the west later. After a cold start for some, it will feel increasingly mild in the west.”
It comes after two men were killed by falling trees as Storm Boelo hammered the UK, leaving over 160,000 without power.
A 60-year-old man was killed by a tree in Dumfries , Scotland, yesterday morning just hours before another man, in his 20s, was killed in London.
The Scottish victim was pronounced dead at the scene at around 10am yesterday and was believed to have been walking when the tree fell.
A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed: “There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course.”
And horror scenes struck London as a young man inside a moving car in Finchley was stuck by a falling tree.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he was tragically pronounced dead.
In south west London, two people were crushed by scaffolding which was knocked over by strong winds.
The pedestrians were rushed to hospital but their injuries are thankfully not believed to be serious.
Trees blocked roads and smashed into cars and homes from the gusts of up to 84mph over the weekend.
Tens of thousands were also left without power.
Flights and ferries were cancelled over the weekend due to the storm.
