Storm Eowyn is set to bring strong winds across the entire country, potentially putting lives at risk, the Met Office has warned. Gusts of more than 90mph could cause power cuts, travel disruption and damage to buildings as Storm Eowyn threatens the UK.

It will be drier for many, with showers replacing persistent heavy rain, these wintry in the north, especially over higher ground.

The Met Office has issued a series of yellow weather warnings for wind on Friday with the country set to be battered by gusts up to 80mph along with torrential rain from Storm Eowyn
