Warnings in place covering most of the weekend as weather system continues to sweep UK
A man has been found dead after a tree fell on to a caravan during Storm Goretti, as weather warnings have been put in place covering most of the UK for the rest of the weekend.
Devon and Cornwall police said emergency services were called at about 7.35pm on Thursday to the Mawgan area of Helston where work took place on Friday to remove the tree. A man in his 50s was found dead in the caravan. His death is not being treated as suspicious and his next of kin have been informed, police said.
Warnings of snow and ice were issued in Scotland and northern and eastern England on Saturday, while people in Wales, the Midlands and south-western areas of England were warned about icy conditions. In Northern Ireland, there were warnings of heavy rainfall. The warning was set at yellow in each area.
Yellow warnings were also issued in Scotland and northern England – particularly along the Pennines – and a more severe amber warning for snow in the area inland of Aberdeen, Perth and Stirling in Scotland. A yellow warning will remain in place in northern and western Scotland into Monday.
