The Met Office has announced the next named storm as Chandra, which is forecast to bring strong winds, heavy rain and snow across much of the UK on Tuesday. Forecasters say flooding and travel disruption are likely in some places and there will also be some significant snow across higher ground in some northern parts of England and some of Scotland.

Several weather warnings were issued on Monday minutes before the name of the storm was announced, including amber warnings for south-west England and the eastern coast of Northern Ireland for rain and wind respectively. Less severe yellow warnings are in place for all of Northern Ireland and a more extensive area of south west England, as well as parts of northern England and Scotland.
