Multiple weather warnings are in place across the UK after three men have died on the roads during Storm Bert.
Thousands were left without power on Saturday (23 November) with more than 200 flood alerts put in place for England, Wales and Scotland overnight.
After a combination of heavy rain and snow battered the country over the weekend, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings across the country on Sunday (24 November).

Hampshire Police said a man in his 60s died, after a tree fell on a car on the A34 near Winchester at around 7.47am on Saturday, to the southbound carriageway between Kings Worthy and Winnall.
They found the driver of a black Mercedes E350 dead at the scene.
Officers are investigating whether the incident was linked to the storm.

Two other fatal collisions also happened while the storm took hold in England, and it remains unclear if both incidents were linked to the storm.
A 34-year-old man died in a single-vehicle collision in the early hours of Saturday, on Moorhead Lane in Shipley, West Yorkshire Police said.
Officers found a blue Renault Captur, which had been travelling towards Saltaire, had collided with a wall.

Meanwhile, a man in his 40s died in a crash on the A45 near Flore in Northamptonshire.
Northamptonshire Police said the collision on Saturday morning, involved a silver Toyota Corolla and a dark grey Hyundai i30 Active.
Today, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings, suggesting that the weather is likely to 'cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places'.
Milder temperatures are also causing the snow which covered the north of England and much of Scotland to melt.

However, the weather service noted that Storm Bert is likely to cause 'dangerous coastal conditions' across southern England and parts of Wales until 9pm on Sunday.
The Environment Agency added: "Flood alert for River Gowy catchment including areas around Frodsham.

"Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible, property flooding is not expected. Flooding is possible from 5:00 PM on 22/11/2024 and will affect locations near the River Gowy.
"Further heavy rainfall is forecast, levels will continue to rise and remain high all weekend. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses."
Last night the Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, tweeted: “My thoughts are with all those affected by Storm Bert.
“For those who have lost power, my department will be keeping in close touch with the energy companies as they seek to ensure it is restored as swiftly as possible and help those affected.”
