Warnings of further wind and rain have been issued for the West Midlands this weekend as communities recover from the effects of Storm Éowyn.

Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire are on alert for strong winds on Sunday, with a yellow warning of gusts which could reach up to 70mph on exposed hills, the Met Office says.

The whole West Midlands is covered by a second yellow warning, external for spells of heavy rain leading to local flooding on Sunday and Monday.

The Met Office added: "Given recent heavy rain, this extra rainfall could lead to some local surface water and river flooding."

On Friday, Storm Éowyn caused power cuts, disrupted travel and brought down trees across the region.
