Authorities have warned the first named storm of the season, Ashley, will 'likely' create a danger to life with winds of up to 80mph expected in some areas of the country.
Warnings for winds and rain have come into effect across different parts of the UK as the first named storm of the season has hit. Storm Ashley is 'likely' to bring a threat of injuries and danger to life, the Met Office has said, with the entirety of Scotland and Northern Ireland being under a yellow warning for wind.
Mr Stroud said gale force winds are due to continue through to Monday morning meaning 'fallen debris and trees' could impact commuters at the start of the week. Road users in Scotland have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel where possible, while Sunday's annual Great South Run in Portsmouth, Hampshire, has been cancelled because of weather-related safety concerns.
