A second storm is set to hit the UK in a matter of hours, a day after falling trees in the strong winds of Storm Malik killed two people.

The Met Office has warned another deep low-pressure system, named Storm Corrie, will bring further unsettled weather – especially to Scotland – later on Sunday and into Monday.

Corrie will bring winds of up to 90mph in some exposed coastal locations and mountainous areas of Scotland.

Amber and yellow severe weather warnings for wind are in force, which state “flying debris is likely” with possible damage to trees and buildings.

The Met Office warning said: “Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties.”

Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: “Storm Corrie will bring very strong winds to the north of the UK, especially northern Scotland, on Sunday. This follows just one day after Storm Malik moves through, also bringing a spell of very strong winds.

“Storm Corrie will bring gusts of up to 90mph in exposed coastal locations in northern Scotland, with 70-80mph gusts more widely in the north.”

Storm Malik has claimed the lives of a nine-year-old boy and 60-year-old woman.

The youngster died after a tree fell on him and a man in Winnothdale, Staffordshire, at around 1pm on Saturday.

Both were taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital, where the boy passed away and the man remains for treatment.

Separately, the woman died after being hit by a fallen tree in Aberdeen.

Homes still without power

More than 130,000 homes and businesses suffered power cuts alongside widespread travel disruption.

Northern Powergrid said about 48,000 of its customers had their power restored as of 4pm – out of more than 78,000 affected since the problems began, mostly in the Northumberland and County Durham area.

It is currently responding to more than 600 concurrent reports of damage, which will require repair.

Many of those affected were also left without power following Storm Arwen late last year.
