00:00Good morning, as Storm Dara hits many of us will have a wet and very windy day

00:06and in some places those winds are dangerous. We have a Met Office red

00:10warning in place along with amber warnings for the strength of the wind

00:14many other warnings also in place too. Let's look at the winds first of all

00:18here's the storm system actually tracking across northern England and

00:21southern Scotland this morning but it's on its backside if you like where we're

00:26seeing the strongest winds already very blustery across Northern Ireland and

00:30feeding down through the Irish Sea. These darker purple suggesting gusts of wind

00:34along the Wales coast of 80 miles an hour. We could also see very strong gusts

00:39along the south coast of Wales and up through the Bristol Channel. The English

00:42Channel also having some gusty conditions and as the storm heads into

00:46the North Sea on its northern flank we'll start to see some strong winds

00:50coming down the eastern side of Scotland and eastern England too. So a very windy

00:55day indeed. The strongest winds in the west that's where we have the red

01:00warning in place for this morning. A broader amber warning area covering

01:05Northern Ireland, South West Scotland, western parts of England, Wales and that

01:08red zone along the west coast of Wales, the south coast of Wales and up through

01:13the Bristol Channel on the north coast of Devon and Somerset. We also have

01:17yellow warnings covering a good chunk of the UK. Every chance that this storm

01:21will impact your plans through the day today wherever you are. So do keep up

01:26to date with the forecast, keep up to date with the weather warnings. Yellow

01:30warnings also in place for those winds as they strengthen down the eastern side

01:33a little later today. Also the heavy rain could cause some issues. We have yellow

01:39rain warnings and an amber one across parts of South Wales where it's going to

01:42be very soggy indeed. Of course recent flooding here so extra rainfall likely

01:47to exacerbate the problems and it is a very wet day across much of Wales

01:51central and eastern England seeing bands of rain moving through. A little drier in

01:55Northern Ireland, southwestern parts of Scotland may see a largely dry afternoon.

02:00The winds remain very strong throughout but those damaging gusts of wind should

02:05at least ease somewhat during this afternoon but staying very blustery and

02:09the winds coming down from the north bringing a colder feel as well.

02:13Temperatures really struggling, single digits at best add on that wind and it

02:17will feel colder than that. Cold enough for some snow across Scotland that is an

02:21extra hazard still some snow coming in here over some of the higher routes the

02:25A9 in particular strong winds and snow means for blizzards through the day

02:29easing a little bit as we go through the night. The rain easing in quite a few

02:32areas as well but it stays pretty wet across eastern and central England it

02:37stays blustery also. Further west turning a little bit drier and with some

02:42clearer skies temperatures dipping well down into single figures with some

02:46shelter across parts of Scotland. Many towns and cities will hold up at five or

02:50six degrees Celsius. Another cold and blustery day on Sunday but at least for

02:55many it should be a drier day tomorrow certainly for Wales and southwest

02:59England. Much of Scotland, Northern Ireland also dry even some sunshine. A few

03:04showers over northeast Scotland, plenty more showery outbreaks of rain though for

03:08the Midlands and eastern England and still that wind coming down from the

03:12north or the northeast bringing another chilly day. Again the winds not as strong

03:17tomorrow but still brisk enough you will notice it temperatures it'll read seven

03:22to nine Celsius on the thermometer but again feeling colder with the strength

03:26of the wind. But the winds particularly strong and dangerous in the coming hours

03:31this morning. Do check out the Met Office weather warnings for yourself they're
