West Yorkshire has been placed under a yellow weather warning for wind.

It comes after the region was hit by storm Pia and the same weather warning on Thursday.

Thousands of homes were left without power following the storm, with Northern Powergrid saying residents in West Yorkshire were the worst hit.

Today's weather warning started at 8 am today (Christmas Eve) and is due to last until 10 pm.

Issued by the Met Office, they said there could be a slight chance of damage to buildings and trees may be damaged or brought down.

They're also warning people to watch out for flying debris and said there's a 'small chance of injuries' due to this.
