After heavy winds from Storm Isha last night, another storm is set to hit the UK tomorrow and Wednesday morning.
Storm Jocelyn has been named by the Met Office with a yellow weather warning for wind in place across most of the country, including East Lothian, from 4pm tomorrow until 1pm on Wednesday.
The Met Office has warned that “strong winds are expected in association with Storm Jocelyn, leading to possible disruption to travel and utilities”.
While parts of northern Scotland have been issued an amber warning for wind, East Lothian is covered by a yellow warning.

The full warning reads: “A spell of strengthening west or south westerly winds is expected to affect Northern Ireland, north Wales, northern England and Scotland from Tuesday evening, associated with Storm Jocelyn.
“Winds are widely expected to gust to 55-65mph, with a few exposed locations possibly seeing in excess of 70mph.
“Gusts of 55-65mph are fairly typical for a winter storm across these areas, but following the impacts caused by Storm Isha resilience is expected to be lower and it may also hamper any ongoing recovery and repair efforts.”
