The Met Office has warned of 80mph winds on Tuesday night as Storm Eleanor barrels towards the British Isles.

Eleanor is the fifth storm to hit the UK this season and will bring a "very windy" spell with forecaster issuing several national severe weather warnings due to the potential for travel disruption.

Britain's western and southern coasts are vulnerable to high waves, forecasters said.

"The unsettled theme continues throughout this week, with further spells of rain moving across the UK from the west as many return to work on Tuesday and there will again be some snow over the high ground in Scotland,” warned Met Office chief forecaster Paul Gundersen.

"The wind will pick up again later on Tuesday and Wednesday as developing Storm Eleanor heads towards the UK and Ireland."
