The UK will not have a white Christmas this year – only the Scottish mountains will see a scattering of snow.
But as Storm Pia leaves the UK, yellow warnings for wind and rain have been issued in north England, Scotland and north Wales.
Meteorologist Liam Eslick said: ‘People should make sure to leave more time, especially in exposed areas, it could affect rail networks and ferries.

‘People travelling on roads should take care and stay away from high-sided vehicles and, for people who are at home and are going for walks, stay away from coasts.’
If you’re looking to go on a walk this Christmas, Boxing Day will be the best day to venture outside, Mr Eslick said.
