Here's the UK weather forecast and latest Met Office warnings with snow to hit in wake of Storm Ciara

Storm Ciara brought with it flooding and winds of nearly 100mph winds, leading forecasters to dub it the “biggest storm this century”.

The highest wind speed yesterday was recorded at the Needles off the Isle of Wight with gusts of 97mph, the Met Office said.

Helen Roberts, a senior meteorologist with the Met Office, said: “In terms of area this is probably the biggest storm this century. I have not seen amber warnings on this scale, across all of Wales and much of England.

"The yellow wind warnings cover the whole of the UK. This could end up being the biggest storm since 1987.” Wind speeds in the 1987 storm reached up to 100mph.

Transport was thrown into chaos by the gales, rain and flooding. Airlines cancelled and diverted hundreds of domestic and international flights.

British Airways cancelled flights from Heathrow, Gatwick and London City, while Virgin Atlantic also cancelled a number of flights.

Several rail firms across England, Scotland and Wales advised passengers not to travel. Network Rail imposed a blanket speed restriction of 50mph across the network yesterday.

Across the UK yesterday around 118,000 people were at one point left without power. Energy companies said they had reconnected 421,000 customers since the storm hit.

In Perth, Scotland, three people were injured after part of a pub roof collapsed. In East Sussex, a surfer was rescued from rough seas after losing his board following a search by rescue teams from HM Coastguard and the RNLI off Hastings.

Here's what to expect over the next few days:
