The warning is in place all day on Wednesday. Winds of up to 80mph might be felt in northern parts of the UK, according to the weather warning.

Should this develop disruption would be expected. However, the most likely scenario is for gusts of 55 to 65 mph within parts of the warning area, most likely the northern Irish Sea and parts of eastern Scotland, bringing some more localised impacts."
