The Met Office has issued a 33-hour weather warning as 80mph gusts approach
The Met Office has issued a 'danger to life' weather warning for parts of the north west of England on Sunday with the gusty conditions set to wreak havoc on buildings and roads. Forecasters say a deep area of low pressure over the Atlantic is intensifying over the coming days and a yellow warning for wind will be in force from 3am on Sunday until noon on Monday.
As the weather system crosses the jet stream it undergoes a rapid intensification, which could bring "damaging winds" to UK shores. In the Met Office's latest 'deep dive' forecast, meteorologist Alex Deakin explained that this process is called "explosive cyclogensis" and can result in what is known as a "weather bomb", the M.E.N reports.
Mr Wisson: "A period of strong south to southeasterly winds will likely develop through Sunday morning, with gusts of 50 to 60mph possible in some inland areas, especially Northern Ireland and western Scotland, and perhaps up to 60 to 70mph along exposed coasts and hills. The RAC warned that the strong winds could result in some tricky driving conditions. Alice Simpson, an RAC Breakdown spokesperson, said: "This latest bout of stormy autumnal weather is likely to make driving conditions hazardous this weekend, especially for drivers in the north and west of the UK.
