A yellow wind warning has been issued from 10am on Wednesday to 7am on Thursday from southwest England to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Met Office has named the massive storm sweeping parts of the UK ‘Agnes’ and warned of a ‘danger to life’, the Met Office said. Sky News.

A yellow warning for Storm Agnes has been issued from 10am on Wednesday until 7am on Thursday across most of the UK, from southwest England to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Met Office said there were warnings of injuries and life-threatening injuries due to flying debris, adding that material found on the beach due to heavy waves could pose a danger to people on the beach or coastal roads and coastal properties.

Unusually strong winds can cause building damage, power outages and traffic disruption.

According to the Meteorological Authority, the storm will hit even over land, with wind gusts ranging between 80 and 100 kilometers per hour, and on a very large scale.

They added, however, that winds of 100-120 kilometers per hour could occur on some coasts of the Irish Sea, and gusts of 130 kilometers per hour could occur on more vulnerable coasts and in the mountains.

The storm could also seriously impact road traffic, so those who are less confident driving in such conditions have been warned to avoid coastal and mountain roads. “You have to drive more slowly, with both hands on the wheel.”

Earlier, Cyclones Lee and Nigel swept through the country, causing heavy rains. But at the start of the month, the weather couldn’t get any worse – for the first time in September, UK temperatures topped 30C for seven days in a row.
