Storm Amy Live: When 100mph winds collide with UK, it was revealed as a warning of weather

Storm Amy is one of the most powerful to hit the UK in some time, with an forecast of up to 100mph.

Since 2015, previous storms have seen reaching 80-90mph, the Met Office says.

The tallest air gust recorded in the UK in October is recorded at a speed of 124 mph on 28 October 1989 in the Rouge of South Glamorgan.

The highest speed recorded in Scotland in October has been recorded at a speed of 106 mph on 18 October 1984 in Lanarkshire, Lanarkshire.

However, both these incidents took place in 2015 before the Met Office started naming the storms.

The Met Office says that “it is possible” that Scotland can see a record-breaking of October in the weekend.

Storm Amy is expected to damage property at the end of this week, especially in Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland.

Niceic technical director Paul Collins has shared group expert tips to deal with the power outage.

First of all, having a ‘Storm Essential’ kit will lead to a long way. The worst situation has not yet been mostly hits of the UK, so it may be considering stocking.

Mr. Collins said: “A fully charged torch is very important during a power cut. Keep your phone battery for communication purposes and to update your power provider. If possible, store a torch on every floor of the house in a accessible place – one in a accessible place – one in the next of your bed – as well as some extra batteries (if necessary).”

He also recommends that as soon as he experiences a power outage, the houses alert their provider, as it may not be aware of the issue. This can speed up the process of re -connecting the power.

Storm Amy is not ready to start clearing by Sunday morning, when it will move towards Scandinavia.

This means that unfavorable and often dangerous weather will last for most of Saturdays, which will have many yellow and amber weather warnings.

The Meteorological Office has mapped how the storm will travel throughout the day:

An provisional new October wind gust record has been set for Northern Ireland as 92MPH winds were measured in Magilligan in CO London, the Met Office has said.

The forecaster said that Hurricane Amy had registered a gust on Friday evening to flow the country.

• If you go out, try not to walk close to buildings and trees or to shelter
• Keep away from the boundary walls and the shelter side of the fence – if these structures fail, they will fall to this side
• Do not go out to repair the storm while the storm is in progress
• If possible, enter your house through the doors in the shelter side and leave them, close them behind you
• Open the interior doors only as needed, and close them behind you
• Keep in mind while driving on exposed routes such as bridges, or high open roads, delay your journey or find an alternative route if possible

The Met Office today warned of fresh yellow and amber season, as Hurricane Amy spread across the country.

Every region in the UK will be brought under strong rain and air, with no area a yellow warning.

Western Scotland is predicted to see the strongest winds and rain with the amber weather warning released from Friday to Saturday morning.

“Both natural and infrastructure are likely to be affected by the possibility of dissolution in roads and railways within the slope warning area, it can be particularly impressive in the region due to the presence of separate communities and long turns routes.”

According to the power suppliers, about 184,000 houses in the Republic of Ireland were without electricity during the storm Amy in the Republic’s fields and businesses at 5.15 pm.

The ESB stated that the affected properties were mainly in the counties Gaulway, Mayo, Sligo, Rosomon, Letrim, Cavan and Dongal.

It also warned that further “power outage can be expected”.
