The Met Office has issued a red weather warning ahead of Storm Éowyn.
Very strong winds associated with Storm Éowyn are forecast to cause “very dangerous conditions” with widespread disruption and significant impacts expected in Northern Ireland. Amber and yellow warnings are in place for the rest of the UK.
People in red warning areas have been warned not to travel. A warning from the Met Office said: “Southwesterly then westerly winds will rapidly increase from west to east during the Friday morning rush hour with peak gusts of 80-90 mph fairly widely and perhaps up to 100 mph along some exposed coasts. This brings the risk of significant disruption to transport and power supplies, as well as dangerous conditions outdoors. Winds will gradually ease from the south through Friday afternoon.”
