The Met Office has issued a new wind warning of 65mph following the passage of Storm Catherine.

Large areas of the country are on high alert, with the Environment Agency issuing 95 flood alerts and 209 flood warnings.

There will be no respite from the strong winds as a second area of ​​low pressure approaches the UK after Storm Catherine brought 70mph winds and caused travel chaos over the weekend.

A yellow wind warning was issued for the south coast at 9am on Tuesday, with winds of up to 65mph expected to hit the coast and flying debris that could put lives at risk.

A truck driver was rescued from his roof by firefighters early Monday when 3.5-foot highs trapped four vehicles.

The fire service attended the scene, but six people became trapped on the Stroud Causeway in Meresey, Essex, and managed to escape before firefighters arrived.

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said on Monday: “With the school holidays and warmer weather, please plan your trip in advance and check tide times before traveling.

“This is information from firefighters who rescued a man trapped in a car in Strood, West Mersey this afternoon.

“Four vehicles were also abandoned and are waiting for the road to be restored.

“If you don’t see any sign of water depth, don’t risk driving through it. For flooded roads, turn around and find another route.”

The Met Office has issued more wind and rain warnings across the UK, with reports of more damage overnight after strong winds lashed off the southwest coast.

On Tuesday, the Met Office issued three weather warnings covering southern England, west Wales and mainland Scotland.

Stormy weather may cause damage to buildings, delays to road, rail and ferry transport, and road and bridge closures are unlikely.

Tonight and overnight, south-westerly winds will be first in the wind, then south-east towards Kent and north towards Lancashire along the Celtic and Irish Sea coasts.

Met Office chief meteorologist Frank Saunders said: “The system is currently in its deepening stage and will bring the strongest gusty winds to the west and south.

“As this system develops it will bring warmer air back to some areas of south-east England today, but there may be some isolated thunder and lightning tonight.”

Storm Catherine wreaked havoc over the weekend, leaving thousands without power and canceling around 70 flights departing and arriving at UK airports before midday on Saturday.

As heavy rain continues this week, the Environment Agency is forecasting coastal and tidal flooding will continue until Wednesday, with localized flooding in northwest England on Tuesday.
