Jet stream winds steering three low pressure systems from Iceland will send temperatures plummeting, prompting the Met Office to warn of flying debris from buildings and on sea fronts.

The Met Office has warned the gales could hit by this afternoon issuing a series of yellow wind warnings which will remain in place between 3am and 6pm on Saturday.

The Met Office issued a weather warning for today, running from 3am to 6pm, covering Snowdonia, the Pennines and the North East. The strong winds could lead to potential power cuts.

The cold is set to creep in from early next week and northern and eastern areas of the UK are likely to experience wintry showers and some snowfall.

Figures released today show that temperatures across the United Kingdom this month have been between 0.5C to 2C above average.

Storm Ciara first brought gusts of up to 70mph on the west coast of Scotland on Saturday and it is set to sweep across the rest of the country throughout Sunday.

The 655-foot (199.5-metre) tower, which had been the tallest structure at the Oxfordshire site, was brought tumbling down at 7.30 this morning.

Windsurfer Tom Bridge, 18, (pictured) captured the footage of himself being dragged up into the stormy skies by his kite in 80 mph winds off the coast of Exmouth in Devon on Sunday.

Following four deaths during Storm Ciara last week, the Met Office raised the alert to amber for Dartmoor and south Devon, most of Wales, the Pennines and large swathes of Yorkshire.

The new weather forecasting system will be the fastest in the world - increasing Met Office computing capacity six-fold when the device is turned on in August 2022.

Stormy weather will bring further misery to communities still suffering from two weeks of downpours as concerns grow that more flood defences will buckle under the strain.

The Met Office has warned a month's worth of rain could fall across an already soaked Wales today as yet another wave of torrential rain moves over the country. Pictured: Worcester.

The atrocious weather shows little signs of abating, with Brits suffering a fifth consecutive wet weekend. Some areas will three to four inches of rain in heavy downpours and winds up to 50mph.

Typical April weather will resume next week, with rain and much lower temperatures on the way. Britons have enjoyed sunshine in recent days, that has brought wisteria and tulips into bloom early.
