Storm warning - UK

The Met Office [from where this warning was copied] is expecting a vigorous depression to bring more very wet and windy weather to the UK this weekend. Southerly winds will increase Saturday evening to give gusts of 70 to 80 mph on coasts and hills of Wales, with 60-70 mph for parts of southwest England, southwest Scotland and County Down in Northern Ireland. This belt of very strong winds will continue to spread east across the rest of England and Wales Saturday night giving gusts of 60mph inland and up to 70mph on southern coasts and hills. Although winds will ease down for a time Sunday morning, later in the day another swathe of severe gales will spread across central parts of the UK. Westerly winds will gust to 60-70mph, but up to 80 mph over exposed coasts and hills of Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and northern England. The severe gales this weekend will bring a risk of disruption to electricity supplies and transport, as well as some structural damage.
