IT looks like further weather woes are in store for Britain and Ireland.
With both nations still recovering from the Beast for the East and Storm Emma, a new weather threat looks to be on the way.
Dubbed the Pest from the West, forecasters are keeping a watchful eye on a band of low pressure making its way towards the south-west coast this weekend.
An official weather warning is in place for parts of England and Wales.
