An amber storm warning, covering much of mainland Scotland and the western islands, is now in force until 22:00.

The Met Office has issued two weather warnings for today (August 4), with parts of England expected to experience heavy rain and strong winds as the second storm of the year moves in. A yellow warning covers large parts of the country, while an amber alert has been issued for areas further north.

Wind gusts of more than 80 miles per hour are possible on Monday, especially in Scotland, as officials warned residents to stay inside.
