You don’t really need us to tell you that the weather is pretty rubbish today – you only have to look out of the window to see that, but IWC are also advising that unless you absolutely need to go out, better to stay at home.
There have been a number of trees down overnight and many areas of flooding.
More heavy rain and gale force winds are expected later today, so batten down those hatches.
