Strong gusts from the west will bring a “wild start” to Sunday for parts of the UK, the Met Office has said.

Wind speeds could reach over 50mph in some parts, with the potential for disruption and further wet weather going into the first week of November.

The Met Office issued yellow warnings on Saturday and they remain in place in several parts of the country, including in Glasgow – where COP26 is due to begin on Sunday.

Steven Keats, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said conditions would start “going downhill” in the west throughout Sunday.

“Further west heavy rain will be picking up and there’ll be some heavy rain coming in from the Atlantic,” he said.

“That will dominate the weather into tomorrow. Heavy rain will push across into… western parts of England and Wales and be accompanied by some pretty strong and gusty winds.”

Mr Keats said parts of Wales and southern England could see winds of around 40 or 50mph which could “potentially cause problems”.

“It’ll be a pretty wild start to Sunday,” he added.

“Given the fact that trees are in full leaf and the ground is pretty saturated in many areas, you could get one or trees coming down. It’s going to be very unsettled.”

On Saturday, there were seven flood warnings in place in England, including five in the Lake District and two in the southwest.

Large swathes of the country saw heavy downpours and flooding, with Honister Pass in Cumbria experiencing 110mm of rain in 48 hours.

In Wales, the coastguard, police, fire and ambulance services undertook a search following reports of people in distress on the river Cleddau in Haverfordwest.

The incident was described as “distressing” and “a tragedy,” with local politicians passing on their support for those involved.
