It's been quite a rough start to the year when it comes to weather, as heavy snow fall and icy conditions were shortly followed by not one but two storms, both hitting the nation within a forty eight hour period. Here's everything you need to know about Storm Jocelyn.
Storm Jocelyn has continued the wet and windy conditions sweeping the nation just as storm Eesha came to an end after causing disruption and destruction. There will be yellow and amber weather warnings in place as we head into Wednesday.
It's not too common to see two storms hit back to back in this way, and storm Jocelyn is the tenth storm of the season - which starts in September. The Met Office started the practice of naming storms alphabetically in a bid to increase public awareness of them so that
measures can be taken to stay safe. Names are assigned for the storms that impact Western Europe in collaboration with Irish and Dutch meteorological services.
This is only the second time in the UK that a storm has a name beginning with J, after we saw storm Jake back in 2016.
