Strong winds, heavy rain and flooding possible as storm batters UK
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind in much of the North and a yellow weather warning for wind and rain in Northern Ireland. The Environment Agency has issued five flood warnings and 47 flood alerts across the UK including along the upper River Derwent, near Pickering.
While the flooding is most likely to be confined to the South West, the south coast of England and East Anglia, The North is expected to be hit with strong winds."There is a chance of 60-65 mph gusts developing inland and 70-80 mph around coasts, and over some higher ground, such as the Pennines," the Met Office has said.
The office adds: "Storm Debi is expected to develop and move across Ireland and northern England on Monday. Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth of this low, there is a chance of very strong westerly winds developing along Irish Sea coasts of Wales and northwest England on Monday morning before extending inland during day, slowly easing later."
