The Met Office has issued a string of weather warnings ahead of the arrival of the first named storm of the season on Wednesday.
“We are likely to potentially see some damaging winds, the possibility of some brief power interruptions, particularly in Irish sea coastal areas,” Mr Morgan told PA.
The storm will make landfall on the west coast of Ireland and winds will start to pick up for the UK around midday. By Thursday, most parts of the UK are poised for a “much calmer” forecast and further spells of wet and breezy weather should peter out by the end of the week for a drier weekend. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution said the storm is likely to cause “dangerous conditions” on the coasts around the UK and Ireland.RNLI water safety partner Sam Hughes said: “The RNLI advises staying a safe distance away from the water and cliff edges as the conditions could knock you off your feet or wash you into the sea. It is not worth risking your life.
