Warnings storm could bring chaos to worst affected areas on Sunday

Brits are being braced for flash floods and travel chaos this weekend as Storm Ashley arrives to batters parts of the UK. The storm is set to sweep in from the early hours of Sunday morning.

There are weather warnings in place across parts of England, and more serious amber alerts for the west of Scotland. Weather maps now show where the worst conditions are expected to be.

Yellow warnings stretch from Scotland down to western England and parts of the Midlands. A Met Office weather warning said: "Parts of western Scotland are likely to see gusts of 70-80mph at times on Sunday afternoon, before winds ease through the evening and overnight.

"The winds coincide with high spring tides and large waves which may lead to a greater risk of disruption along coasts." In the worst affected areas, the Met Office encourages people to check for loose items outside their home and plan on how best to secure them, reports the Mirror.

Items to look out for include: bins, harden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. With an Amber wind warning, the Met Office said there "is a good chance" that power cuts could occur and that it might affect mobile phone coverage.

Travel delays and cancellations are also likely with some roads and bridges possibly being closed. A yellow wind warning is also in place for all of Scotland, western and north Wales, Northern Ireland and Cumbria for the same timeframe on Sunday.

The yellow wind warning will continue until 9am on Monday for northern Scotland. Storm Ashley will initially impact Ireland before it hits the UK.

Head of Transport Resilience at Transport Scotland, Ashleigh Robson, said: “Storm Ashley is set to bring widespread disruption for travel on Sunday and into Monday. Passengers should certainly check with their operator, and with some families off enjoying the October school holidays, we would advise them to play close attention to any cross-border travel updates too."
