Another bout of extreme weather is set to bring even more disruption to the UK - just hours after Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc and was dubbed the 'worst storm since 1998'

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “The strongest gusts are likely to be felt across parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, north-western Wales and western Scotland, where exposed sites could get gusts in excess of 80mph, which has the potential to cause impacts for those in these areas.

Rail services and flights have been axed, with rare red weather warnings issued for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Met Office extended its rare red weather warning at 11am to cover more of Scotland until 5pm, while Northern has issued a 'do not travel' warning for much of the north, including Greater Manchester.

Two red weather warnings for strong Storm Éowyn winds have been issued by the Met Office - the national weather agency says 'very dangerous conditions' are likely

The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning for Northern Ireland and Scotland on Friday as Storm Eowyn threatens to bring gusts of up to 100mph and “flying debris resulting in danger to life”.

Storm Éowyn has been “pretty exceptional” and was “probably the strongest storm” to hit the UK in at least 10 years, the Met Office has said. A gust of 100mph was recorded at Drumalbin in South Lanarkshire in Scotland yesterday, and parts of Ireland saw the highest windspeeds since records began after they reached 114mph in Mace Head, Co Galway.

The country is still feeling the impact of deadly Storm Eowyn, and now more warnings have been issued across a whopping 58 areas of the UK in just 48 hours time
