Headline
Storm Agnes to bring a spell of strong and potentially disruptive winds through Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday
What to expect
- Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible
- Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen
- Some power cuts are likely to occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
- Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible. Some roads and bridges are likely to close
- There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life that could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties, with a chance of some minor flooding of coastal roads
Reason for update
As the confidence in the track of Agnes increases, the area of strongest winds has been refined by trimming out parts of northwest Scotland, and also by reducing the southeastern extent across England.
Further details
Storm Agnes will approach southwest Ireland early on Wednesday and track northeast across Northern Ireland and Scotland before clearing on Thursday morning. Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth of Agnes, gusts of 45-55 mph are expected widely inland and 50-60 mph over hills and around coasts. The strongest winds are expected to affect eastern parts of Northern Ireland, southwest Scotland, west and northwest Wales, Cumbria and Lancashire where some inland locations may see gusts of 50 to 60 mph, and perhaps 65-75 mph over hills and around some coasts. The strongest gusts are most likely during the second half of Wednesday afternoon and through the evening.

Headline
A period of heavy rain during Wednesday afternoon and evening may cause some flooding in a few places
What to expect
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
- Some bus and train services probably affected, with the chance of the odd road closure.
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
Reason for update
Warning area has been extended further east and north, now covering Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.
Further details
An area of heavy rainfall, accompanied by strong winds, is likely to arrive from the south on Wednesday afternoon bringing 30-50 mm of rain, perhaps 60 mm in a few spots across higher ground. Flooding impacts may be exacerbated by recent very wet weather and by the accompanying strong winds leading to leaves and other debris possibly blocking drains. Rain will ease by the early hours of Thursday morning.
