UK Met Office Issues Yellow Weather Warnings for Strong Winds and Heavy Rain Across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Western England

The Met Office has issued new yellow weather warnings for strong winds and heavy rain, affecting western areas of England, parts of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Gusts of 45-50mph inland and 60-65mph along exposed coasts and over high ground are expected, with some areas in the far north and northwest of Scotland potentially seeing gusts in excess of 70mph. These warnings are in place from Monday evening (October 26) into Tuesday (October 27), with a further warning for strong winds covering most of Scotland and the far north-east of Northern Ireland from 3 am Tuesday until midnight. Disruption is expected, following previous impacts from Storms Austen and Boelo, which caused power cuts to hundreds of thousands of properties. Conditions are forecast to settle from Wednesday.
