The Met Office has named the latest storm expected to hit the North West this week.

Storm Jocelyn will hit the northern part of the country with wet and windy weather tomorrow and into Wednesday.

This follows Storm Isha, which brought gale-force winds and major disruption on Sunday night and Monday morning.

While Isha’s yellow weather warning has now ended in Bury, The Met Office has announced a second amber and yellow weather alert for wind.

This alert is set to last from 4pm tomorrow until 1pm on Wednesday.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: “Although this system will be a step down relative to Storm Isha, with the damage and clean up still underway, we could potentially see more impacts from Storm Jocelyn.

“Outbreaks of heavy rain on Tuesday could bring rainfall accumulations of 15 to 20 mm quite widely with 40 to 50 mm over higher ground in southwest Scotland, the Scottish Highlands and parts of northwest England.

"Wind gusts are expected to reach 55 to 65 mph across northwestern Scotland while there is potential for winds to gust to 75 to 80 mph in a few places, in particular, exposed parts of the Western Isles and coastal northwest Scotland early on Wednesday morning.”

The winds will gradually ease through Wednesday and as we head through the rest of the week the weather continues to look changeable.

The drier and most settled conditions are towards the south and east, and the more unsettled (wettest and windiest) conditions are expected in the northwest.
