BRITS face yellow weather warnings today after Storm Ciarán left a trail of destruction across the country.

Flooding could cause commuter chaos in cities like Dundee and Aberdeen, with a chance of train and bus delays as well as road closures.
There is a small possibility homes and businesses could be flooded with deep or fast-flowing floodwater.
The warning, which came into force at 6am yesterday, will stay in place until 6pm this evening.
A number of schools across the UK are still shut today after Storm Ciaran lashed the country.

"Storm Ciaran will be well out into the North Sea by Saturday.
"But another system is approaching from the west – and is going to bring some heavy rain and strong winds as we go through Saturday.
"We do have a rainfall warning in force for parts of the south east because of those hefty showers, which could turn quite intense."
It comes after Storm Ciaran drenched Brits yesterday – causing a major sewage overflow and leaving thousands of families without tap water in and around Southampton.
Southern Water said: "We’re really sorry that customers are likely to experience either low pressure or a loss of water supply.
"This is due to Storm Ciarán’s unprecedented impact on the water quality and levels of the River Test, close to our Testwood Water Supply Works.
"This has made it extremely difficult for us to abstract water and treat it for drinking water, and has led to a temporary site shutdown.
"As a result, we are struggling to fill reservoirs in some areas of southern Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
"Our teams are working around the clock to get our Testwood site back working as soon as possible as stormwater levels fall and water quality improves."
"If you are concerned or are a vulnerable customer and need access to bottled water as a priority, please call us on 0330 303 0368."
