Brits are being warned to not âunderestimateâ the impact of Storm Eowyn and an expert has given a list of essentials to keep with you.
The Met Office has raised Storm Eowyn to a top level red warning with the possibility of flying debris resulting in danger to life while people are being advised about âvery dangerousâ driving conditions from fallen trees.
There may also be power cuts, damage to buildings and homes, and delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights.
Weather warnings are in place across the whole of the UK on Friday when the worst of the effects from the storm will be felt although there are further Met Office alerts throughout the weekend and into Monday.
And on top of the warnings from the Met Office, Dr Jess Neumann, associate professor of hydrology at the University of Reading, has spoken of the risks including flooding.

This storm has the potential to bring serious risks, not just to travel and property, but to your safety and wellbeing," she said. âStorm Eowyn is set to hit the UK hard on Friday, bringing 90mph winds, torrential rain, and potentially leaving heavy snow in its wake.
âExpect widespread travel disruption, power outages and dangerous conditions along coastlines and high wind areas. Severe flooding is likely, with heavy rain and snowmelt combining to create hazardous surface water and flash floods that could strike with little warning.â

Dr Neumann continued: âIf you must travel, be prepared for delays. Carry spare warm clothes, blankets, bottled water, a torch, and ensure your vehicle is fuelled and well-maintained.
"For those at risk of flooding, act quickly. If time permits and itâs safe, turn off your gas and electricity, move valuables to higher ground, and relocate to safety.â The Met Office has issued weather warnings across the UK, but the worst of Storm Eowyn is expected to strike across the island of Ireland from early on Friday.

The warning is also in parts of southern Scotland between 10am and 5pm, with widespread disruption expected. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: âWe reserve the issuing of Red Warnings for the most severe weather which represents a likely danger to life and severe disruption, and that is the case with Storm Ăowyn.
âWhile it will be widely very windy on Friday, with additional hazards from rain and snow, the strongest winds and most significant impacts are likely in Northern Ireland and central and southwestern parts of Scotland within the Red Warning areas, where winds could gust 80-90 mph quite widely for a time, and potentially up to 100 mph for exposed coasts in particular.â
