    The UK is waking up to more windy weather this Christmas as the Met Office issues two yellow warnings.

    Travel disruption may once again continue into today as forecasters predict the strong winds may affect rail, plane and motorway services.

    Follow Metro.co.uk’s live blog for latest updates on Storm Pia.

    They also warned buildings may be damaged and trees brought down as the UK tries to celebrate Christmas eve in the aftermath of Storm Pia.

    One warning stretches across the north east of England, and will come into force from 8am and will remain until 10pm

    Another warning, which covers Scotland, will remain in place from noon to 23.59pm tomorrow.

    The Met Office also issued a yellow weather warning for rain in Wales yesterday evening, which will continue until 6pm.

    They said the flooding of a few homes is possible and power supplies may also be affected.

    Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: ‘It’s a windy weekend for many, with some heavy rain expected too, especially in the west, with a number of weather warnings in force.

    ‘Low pressure to the north of the UK is chiefly responsible for this period of unsettled weather, with a number of weather fronts bringing periods of heavy and persistent rain, particularly in western Scotland and Wales through Saturday and into Sunday.

    ‘Those further east will generally see drier conditions through the weekend, though even here will see some showers at times.

    ‘Temperatures in the south will be very mild for the time of year, likely peaking at around 15°C in the far southeast on Saturday.’

    Forecasters also gave an update on their prediction for weather conditions this weekend and for Christmas Day itself on Monday, December 25.

    Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: ‘Christmas Day looks like being fairly unsettled in northern and western areas. Any showers in the north could be wintry with hail and thunder, but even here, any snow will be mainly on high ground.

    ‘The south of the country will see the best of the drier and brighter conditions. While temperatures will be near normal for the time of year it will be a windy day for many meaning it will feel colder.

    ‘Beyond Christmas Day further rain or showers and strong winds are likely for many, and again any sleet and snow will be mainly over the hills of Scotland, as is often the case in December.’
