On Sunday evening, a 'deep low pressure system' will head to the UK and continue into Monday but will target the north especially.

This comes after Storm Malik has already caused travel disruption across Scotland with over 200 trains cancelled through the country and over 50 for Edinburgh.

In a tweet the Met Office said: "Although storm #Malik will take its strong #winds away eastwards from the UK later today, another deep low pressure system just named #StormCorrie by the #MetOffice will bring further very unsettled weather, especially to Scotland later Sunday into Monday. Updates to follow."

The Met Office then added: "Although storm Malik will take its strong winds away eastwards from the UK later today, another deep low pressure system just named Storm Corrie by the Met Office will bring further very unsettled weather, especially to Scotland later Sunday into Monday."

It expects to record severe winds between 50mph and 75mph.

At the moment, Edinburgh is expected to see strong winds from 3pm on Sunday which will reach up to 49 miles per hour, according to the Met Office.
