Storm Amy live updates: Weather warnings extended to cover entire UK ahead of 100mph winds and heavy rain

Geologists of the British Geological Research warned that the estimated conditions during the weekend have the potential to trigger landslides in the most challenging areas.

Western Scotland is expected to see the most powerful wind and rain with amber air warning between Friday and Saturday morning.

BGS Engineering Geohazards Geologist Claire Dashwood said: “The records show that landslides in Western Scotland are triggered by a similar amount of rainfall this week.

“It is likely to be affected by the potential of deterioration of both natural and infrastructure slopes, roads and railways in the warning area, which can be particularly effective in this field because of the existence of isolated communities and long defiance ways.”

With estimates up to 100Mph, Storm Amy will be one of the most powerful shooting of England for a while.

Since 2015, the Met Office has seen that the storms called in the past have reached 80-90mph.

The highest wind recorded in the UK in October is Gust, 124 miles / hour recorded on October 28, 1989 in South Glamorgan, Rhoose.

The highest Gust rate recorded in Scotland in October was 106 miles / h on October 18, 1984 in Lanarkshire, Salsburgh.

However, both of these events took place before the Met Office began to name storms in 2015.

The Met Office says “Possible” that Scotland can see a record -breaking October Wind Gusts on the weekend.

Storm Amy is expected to damage the property this weekend, especially in some parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Niceic coach Paul Collins shared the tips of experts to cope with the group’s power outages.

First, having a ‘storm Essential’ kit will come a long way. The worst conditions have not yet hit most of the UK, so it may be worth considering stocking.

Mr. Collins said: “A completely loaded torch is a necessity during a power cut. Keep your phone battery for communication for communication and for updates from your electrical provider.

Furthermore, he recommends that households warn their provider as soon as they may not be aware of the subject. This can accelerate the process of re -attachment.

Storm Amy will not start to be cleaned until Sunday morning, when it will move to Scandinavia.

This means that negative and often dangerous weather will remain with several yellow and amber air warnings for Saturdays.

Met Office mapped how the storm will travel throughout the day:

Met Office said that a temporary new October wind register for Northern Ireland was determined because the 92mph wind was measured in Magiilligan in Co Londonderry.

Estimated, Storm Amy’s country sweeping the country Gust’un said that the Friday evening, he said.

When Storm Amy beat England, it is useful to know how to remain safe in dangerous weather conditions.

Guidance from the Met Office recommends what to do at every stage of the storm in order to keep people safe and to remain undamaged.

• Stay inside as much as possible
• If you go out, try not to walk close to buildings and trees or host
• Stay away from the sheltered by the border walls and fences – if these structures fail, they will collapse on this side
• Do not go out to repair the damage while the storm continues
• If possible, enter and release your home through the sheltered doors.
• Open the inner doors just as necessary and close them behind you
• Be careful when driving on open roads such as bridges or high open roads, delay your journey or find alternative ways if possible
• Slow down and be aware of the side winds, especially if you are pulling or a high -sided tool should be particularly care.
• Don’t drive a car unless your journey is really necessary

Met Office, Storm Amy spread throughout the country, today put fresh yellow and amber air warnings.

Each region in the UK will be hit by strong rain and wind that is not covered with a yellow warning.

Scotland, north of England and east of Wales, most of the worst effects until the end of Saturday, the worst effects of Friday is expected to feel.

Negative conditions will then reach the rest of the Wales and South and Midlands regions from midnight from midnight from 15:00 on Saturday to 7 pm.

For most Western Scotland, the amber warning, which is in force on Friday, will now continue until Saturday until late in the evening and will vary on Northern Scotland.

He also warned that more “power outages can be expected”.

A spokesman said: “The crew will continue their restoration work as long as possible this evening, but the majority of customers will not restore their powers due to dangerous weather conditions and accessibility difficulties.”
