Meteorologist Tom CrabTree, Vice President of Met Office, said; “Although there is still an uncertainty about the full runway of Amy, the system will bring galers wind winds to the north and western regions, Gusts will reach 50 to 60 miles per hour in Northern Britain in Northern Britain and potentially reaches 70 to 80 miles per hour. Essentially with Gusts on the coasts and hills in the northwest.
“Especially compared to Western Scotland, it is expected that the sums can exceed 30-50 mm per 6-9 hours and increases the risk of local floods. Performs and warnings will be updated as the situation becomes clearer, so it is important to keep an eye on your region in the coming days.”

The most powerful winds are currently more likely to be more likely than the parts of Northern Scotland and lead to difficult driving conditions for high -sided vehicles on routes such as cross -winds on open or high -level roads. The heavy rain spell will also be listed the parts of Western Scotland.
The winds will relax for most parts in the afternoon on Saturday, but will continue to be very strong until the end of the day before the day before the day before the northern islands and some parts of Scotland.
Transportation Martin Thomson from Scotland said: “Storm Amy is preparing to bring heavy rain and strong winds to its parts of Scotland and we hope to see the deterioration of the transportation network in the warning areas.
“Rain and wind will bring difficult driving conditions such as less visibility and surface juice, and will also affect ferry and railway networks, so it is important to plan your journey in advance.
“You should use the traffic Scotland website before setting out to make sure that the routes are present and if you plan to travel on trains, ferries and flights, you should consult your operator.”
