The storm looks set to bring heavy rain and winds of up to 70mph to parts of the UK, including East Anglia. A weather warninghas already been issued for Norfolk and Waveney.

Expert Chris Bell, from Norwich-based forecaster Weatherquest has said a low pressure system will make its way over northern England over the coming days.

'There is a warning in place for London and the south east,' he said. 'The winds will hit the coast the hardest and we could see high speeds of around 60mph and possibly more in parts of East Anglia.

'An area of low pressure is coming across which could cause these high winds.'

He added: 'Most of the rain will clear by Friday and the winds will be the main issue on Saturday.

'People who live in areas with a lot of trees just need to be a bit more careful because there is an increased risk of some coming down.'
