Image source, BBC WeatherImage caption, The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for strong windsAfter a dry and bright start to Sunday, heavy outbreaks of rain will spread in from the west during the morning, and will gradually push eastwards throughout the day. Winds will strengthen too, with gales developing in the south and west of the UK. Winds will gust to 45-50mph inland, and up to 60-70mph around coasts and hills. Winds this strong could bring down some tree branches and lead to some localised disruption. The Met Office's yellow warning for wind covers most of England and all of Wales.Heavy rain is an additional hazard with 10-30mm falling widely with some western hills having around 70mm. There is a risk of surface water flooding and difficult driving conditions with the possibility of drains blocked by leaves, in part due to the false autumn leading to early leaf fall.Image source, GettyImage caption, Heavy rain and strong winds will arrive on Sunday and into MondayWill this be Storm Amy?Areas of low pressure are named by either the Met Office, Met Eireann or KNMI - the Netherlands weather service - if the impacts are expected to be significant.The latest list of storm names were released in early September with Amy, Bram and Chandra being the first three named storms.The area of low pressure bringing this unsettled weather is not thought - at the moment - to bring widespread impacts enough to be named by either Met Eireann or the Met Office.Details can of course change so it would be worth staying tuned to the latest forecast.How to stay safe during a storm and what to do in a power cutPublished4 days agoChange in weather patternsThere's been a notable change in our weather patterns since in recent weeks when a series of low pressure systems have brought widespread rain and showers.
