UK weather: Storm Clodagh’s here as Met Office says UK and London weather will include 70mph winds, heavy rain, flooding and even snow
Britain is bracing itself for a miserable day of heavy rain and winds of up to 70mph as storm Clodagh follows Barney and Abigail across the Atlantic.
A yellow weather warning has been issued for greater London and the rest of the country due to high winds throughout Sunday.

While the capital will escape the most severe gales of the west coast, including north wales, north west England and Dumfries and Galloway, where gusts could reach 70mph. But, inland they could still hit 50mph to 60mph.
In Scotland, the bad weather could even bring with it a dusting of snow on higher grounds.
The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "A further low pressure system will enter its deepening phase as it runs quickly eastwards across southern Scotland on Sunday, leading to a further swathe of very strong winds on its southern flank.
There is quite likely to be a core of stronger winds immediately south of the low pressure track which, on current expectations, would be most likely to affect areas around the northern part of the Irish Sea. Strongest winds would reach Northern Ireland around dawn, and most areas by the end of the morning, before gradually subsiding from the west during the afternoon and evening."
In London, transport services are running as normal across the capital, with some Tube lines closed for planned engineering work. The Emirates cable car in Greenwich has been closed due the high winds.

Storm Barney just a few weeks ago brought with it gusts of up to 85mph in Aberdeen. The Met Office crowdsourced the storm names in order to make people more aware of weather warnings and Clodagh is the third after being named severe enough to warrant it on Saturday evening. Next up will be Desmond when the next storm lands on Britain's shores.
