Red warnings have been issued for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland on Friday, as the dangerous Storm Éowyn heads towards the UK. The rare warnings for wind mean flying debris could cause a danger to life, with gusts up to 100mph (161km/h) along some exposed coasts.

The warning — the most severe issued by the national forecaster — comes as gusts of 89mph are expected in Glasgow causing a danger to life and damage to property, with roofs expected to be blown off.
