Woman killed and 110,000 homes lose power in Storm Malik - Storm Corrie strikes UK with winds 80 Mph

A woman has been killed and more than 110,000 homes and businesses have suffered power cuts after extreme weather swept parts of UK.

A nine-year-old boy has died and a man is in hospital after being hit by a falling tree in Winnothdale as strong winds from Storm Malik battered northern parts of the UK.

The young boy's death comes after a 60-year-old woman was killed by a falling tree in Aberdeen.

Storm Malik batters the UK
Today's yellow warnings are set to continue into the new week.

Meanwhile, over 36,000 households are now without power in Northumberland and County Durham following extreme weather, according to Northern Powergrid.

Today, Britain is being battered by Storm Malik - while tomorrow Storm Corrie will take over.

Storm Corrie will bring high winds and wet weather to northern parts of the UK - with 90mph gales expected in coastal areas.

Gusts could reach up to 80mph in exposed coastal areas, but more widely 60mph as Storm Malik tracks eastwards towards Denmark.

Met Office 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 though 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.

"With back-to-back storms there could be updates to severe weather warnings, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast.”

As both storms move on towards the end of Monday, it will remain blustery through the start of the week with occasional spells of rain in Britain.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: “The impacts of Storm Malik are going to be greatest in Denmark on Sunday, but the track of the storm in the preceding hours means that the UK will be dealt a glancing blow as Malik moves eastwards on Saturday.

KILLER STORM
“For those in the north of the UK there will be high winds and rain on Saturday, with showers possibly turning wintry in the high ground in the north.

"The highest winds are expected in exposed coastal areas in the north and east of Scotland, but it will be a windy day for most.”

Three urgent weather warnings are in place across Britain today.

One, a yellow warning, is expected to cover Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England, from 4am.

Another, covering the Shetland Islands, has been issued for 12pm until 8pm.

Scotland's amber warning is set to last from 7am to 3pm, with travel chaos expected.

Some short term loss of power in affected areas is likely - while injuries and danger to life could occur from flying debris, the Met Office warned.

And damage to buildings may happen, as tiles blow from roofs during the gale-force winds.

The disruption is set to continue over the next three days, with yellow wind warnings continuing across central and northern parts of the UK until Monday.

WET AND WINDY FEBRUARY
And it seems February is shaping up to be a turbulent month with the elements, as a mix of wet, and windy weather with snow cause chaos.

Met forecaster James Madden said cold and snow will approach from the north during the beginning of the month, with wintry downpours potentially reaching the capital.

Long-range predictions are suggesting that snow could fall in northern regions if the freezing temperatures continue.

The risk of snow could last until at least February 11, according to forecasts, after parts of the country are soaked by rain and the white stuff.
