An amber wind alert has been issued for some areas of the UK on Friday, with the Met Office warning there could be 'a danger to life' due to flying debris. Parts of northern England and Scotland are expected to be affected by Storm Eowyn from 6am through to 9pm on Friday. Gusts could top 60-70mph fairly widely, but reach 80-90mph along more exposed coasts and hills. The powerful storm is expected to bring 'very strong winds and widespread disruption', according to the Met Office.
Across all counties, Met Eireann warns of 'danger to life' conditions, with potential impacts including fallen trees, power outages, dangerous waves on the coast, structural damage and travel disruption. A red warning is only issued for 'rare and very dangerous weather conditions', according to the forecaster. Meanwhile, a 'status orange' warning - the same level as 'amber' in the UK - also applies to all of Ireland's counties between 2am and 5pm on Friday.
