- Yellow wind warnings cover Northern Ireland, Scotland, and parts of northern England from Saturday evening through Sunday, with peak gusts in exposed coastal areas potentially exceeding 70mph.
- Storm Austen will bring heavy rain and severe gusts to southwest England and Wales on Friday, with an amber wind warning covering Cornwall, Plymouth, and Devon between 1am and 10am.
- Winds of this strength could fell trees and damage buildings, creating significant transport disruption and power cuts, while The Channel Islands face severe gales with gusts up to 80mph.
