Storm Amy will bring a spell of damaging winds, initially in western areas during Friday evening before gradually transferring northeastwards through the night. During this period, wind gusts of 60-70 mph are likely fairly widely, with 70-80 mph in more exposed areas, and may reach 100 mph in some exposed parts of western Scotland, particularly around Tiree, western Lochaber and Skye for a time this evening. This will lead to dangerous conditions with travel and power disruption. What Should I Do? Windy weather can cause delays and make travel conditions dangerous, consider if you journey is necessary and amend your travel plans if necessary. Bus and train services may be delayed so ensure you check for updates. It is safer not to drive in these conditions, but if you must drive you can do this more safely by taking the following actions: check road conditions before setting out leaving yourself extra time; drive slowly to minimise the impact of wind gusts and be aware of high sided vehicles/caravans especially when overtaking; and, carry essentials in your car (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and in-car phone charger). Don't risk injury to others or damage to your property. Check for loose items outside your home and secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. Being outside in high winds makes you more vulnerable to injury. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do go out, try not to walk, or shelter close to buildings and trees. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves, even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities

Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of strong winds to many parts of northern and western Britain later on Friday and overnight into Saturday. South to southwesterly winds will increase during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas, and may reach 60-70 mph in more exposed parts. The strongest winds are most likely across portions of northern and western Scotland, where gusts in excess of 90 mph are possible - this is covered by a separate Amber warning for the Friday night period. The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, with difficult driving conditions likely, especially for high sided vehicles on prone routes, such as crosswinds on exposed or high level routes. Winds will ease for most parts through Saturday afternoon, but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of Saturday, before slowly easing overnight. What Should I Do? What should I do? Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them.

West to northwesterly winds will increase during Saturday morning, with gusts widely 60-70 mph, and perhaps occasionally 80-85 mph in very exposed locations. This is likely to lead to travel disruption and hazardous conditions. Winds are expected to slowly moderate through Saturday evening, but remain strong. What Should I Do? Driving in these conditions can be dangerous, for yourself and other road users. If you must drive, you can do this more safely by taking the following actions; drive slowly to minimise the impact of wind gusts, be aware of high sided vehicles/caravans on more exposed roads and be cautious when overtaking, and give cyclists, motorcyclists, lorries, and buses more room than usual. Being outside in high winds makes you more vulnerable to injury. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do go out, try not to walk, or shelter, close to buildings and trees. In advance of high winds, check for loose items outside your home and secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea.

Region: Highland & Eilean Siar

A band of rain, briefly heavy, will sweep northeast across the warning area during Friday afternoon and evening. Frequent showers will then follow from the west with some prolonged spells of heavy rain expected across northwest Scotland. Accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are likely on hills, and in excess of 80 mm or more across the Northwest Highlands. Following on from recent rain this may lead to some flooding. The rain will be accompanied by very strong winds which will lead to some poor driving conditions. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

A band of rain, briefly heavy, will sweep northeast across the warning area during Friday afternoon and evening. Frequent showers will then follow from the west with some prolonged spells of heavy rain expected across northwest Scotland. Accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are likely on hills, and in excess of 80 mm or more across the Northwest Highlands. Following on from recent rain this may lead to some flooding. The rain will be accompanied by very strong winds which will lead to some poor driving conditions. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.

Following a recent spell of heavy rainfall, a further period of heavy rainfall is expected Friday afternoon and evening. Rain will arrive from the west on Friday afternoon, and continue into the evening, with the potential for a short period of very heavy rainfall in the evening. During this time 10-20 mm of rain will fall widely, with 40-70 mm over areas of high ground exposed to the southwesterly winds. 15-20 mm could fall within 1 hour in some locations. Drier conditions will follow in the early hours of Saturday, although a few short-lived heavy showers will remain in the area. Strong gusty winds will accompany the rain, and these via things such as the increased leaf fall potentially blocking drains will increase the risk of impacts. What Should I Do?

Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of strong winds to many parts of northern and western Britain later on Friday and overnight into Saturday. South to southwesterly winds will increase during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas, and may reach 60-70 mph in more exposed parts. The strongest winds are most likely across portions of northern and western Scotland, where gusts in excess of 90 mph are possible - this is covered by a separate Amber warning for the Friday night period. The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, with difficult driving conditions likely, especially for high sided vehicles on prone routes, such as crosswinds on exposed or high level routes. Winds will ease for most parts through Saturday afternoon, but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of Saturday, before slowly easing overnight. What Should I Do? What should I do? Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them.

People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly.

Region: Northern Ireland

A band of heavy rain associated with Storm Amy will cross Northern Ireland during Friday, followed by blustery showers and then another band of heavy rain overnight. This second band of rain clearing southeastwards during Saturday morning. Accumulations of around 15 mm are possible within 2-3 hours in association with the rain bands, with 20-30 mm expected in total through the warning period. Following rainfall in previous days, this could cause further flooding and some travel disruption. The rain will be accompanied by very strong winds, for which separate warnings have been issued. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

Region: Northern Ireland

A period of damaging south to southwesterly winds are likely during the late afternoon and evening hours on Friday, with gusts of 60-70 mph inland and up to 80 mph along some more exposed coasts. Given this will coincide with the evening commute in many areas, this may lead to some disruption. Whilst winds may ease slightly later in the evening, it will likely remain windy overnight and into Saturday morning - this aspect is covered by a separate yellow warning. What Should I Do? Driving in these conditions can be dangerous, for yourself and other road users. If you must drive, you can do this more safely by taking the following actions; drive slowly to minimise the impact of wind gusts, be aware of high sided vehicles/caravans on more exposed roads and be cautious when overtaking, and give cyclists, motorcyclists, lorries, and buses more room than usual. Being outside in high winds makes you more vulnerable to injury. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you do go out, try not to walk, or shelter, close to buildings and trees. In advance of high winds, check for loose items outside your home and secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities.

Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of strong winds to many parts of northern and western Britain later on Friday and overnight into Saturday. South to southwesterly winds will increase during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas, and may reach 60-70 mph in more exposed parts. The strongest winds are most likely across portions of northern and western Scotland, where gusts in excess of 90 mph are possible - this is covered by a separate Amber warning for the Friday night period. The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, with difficult driving conditions likely, especially for high sided vehicles on prone routes, such as crosswinds on exposed or high level routes. Winds will ease for most parts through Saturday afternoon, but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of Saturday, before slowly easing overnight.
