A further weather warning has been issued by the Met Office for Essex this weekend in the aftermath of Storm Eunice.

The county was included in a red weather warning yesterday (Friday, February 18) for the storm, as it battered the UK.

Essex felt the full force of it as a Travelodge had to be evacuated due to its roof being ripped off, and cars had their windows blown out.

Now a yellow weather warning is in place for wind over all of eastern and southern England as well as Wales from 12pm on Sunday (February 20) to 12pm on Monday (February 21).

A Met Office statement read: "Winds are likely to strengthen across England and Wales ahead of a band of rain, which itself will turn increasingly squally, as it moves southeast on Sunday afternoon.

"Gusts of 55-60 mph are expected widely around south and west facing coasts, some of which may be more vulnerable than usual in the aftermath of Storm Eunice. Some places inland may see similar strength gusts, and on the squally rain band itself, gusts potentially as high as 70 mph.

"Blustery showers will follow with further gusts of 60-70 mph mainly confined to coastal areas in the west during Sunday evening.

"Whilst a temporary reduction in wind speeds is likely for a time overnight into Monday, winds will again strengthen from the northwest during the morning. Gusts of 50-60 mph are probable inland, especially Wales and western/central England."
