Full list of areas covered by Met Office danger to life red weather warning for wind ahead of Storm Éowyn

Red, amber and yellow weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office as Storm Éowyn is expected to batter the UK with strong wind, rain and even snow in parts of the country.

Storm Éowyn is expected to bring winds of up to 90 mph to parts of the country, picking up on Thursday night and reaching its peak on Friday.

During the day on Friday, 24 January, the whole of the UK is covered by at least one weather warning. There are eight warnings in total which is made up of one yellow snow warning in the Scottish highlands, two yellow wind warnings, one yellow rain warning, two amber wind warnings and two red wind warnings.

The Met Office categorises its weather warnings depending on the severity of the conditions. With a yellow weather warning, it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places.

An amber warning means there is an increased likelihood of impacts from severe weather, and you should consider changing your plans to keep yourself and your property safe. This means there is the possibility of travel delays, road and rail closures, power cuts and the potential risk to life and property.

And a red warning means that there is risk to life - dangerous weather is expected and you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather.

Currently there are two red warnings for wind. The first one covers Northern Ireland and is in place from 7 am until 2 pm tomorrow, Friday 24 January. The warning reads: "Very strong winds associated with Storm Éowyn causing very dangerous conditions with widespread disruption and significant impacts expected."

The second red warning is in Scotland with the same description. For both areas affected by the red warnings, winds could peak at 80-90 mph, even reaching 100 mph by the coast.

Here are all the areas affected by the red wind warning.
