Rain and gales of up to 90mph are forecast to hit parts of the UK from Monday as Storm Henry rolls in.

It comes after Storm Gertrude battered the country with high winds and rain and brought snow to some parts.

The Met Office has issued amber "be prepared" alerts for wind covering Scotland for Monday overnight into Tuesday.

Gusts of 70-80mph are now expected widely, while 90mph is possible in the most exposed areas, especially across the Western Isles and along the west coast.

Warnings for wind at the lesser yellow "be aware" level were also put in place for Northern Ireland, Wales and the north of England for Monday morning.

Met office warnings for ice and snow remain in place across all of Scotland into Sunday. Credit: Andrew Milligan / PA Wire/PA Images
