The Met Office have issued a yellow warning ahead of Storm Corrie, forecast for tomorrow. The warning comes into effect at 3pm on Sunday 30 January, and remains active until 12 noon on Monday.

According to the Met Office, Storm Corrie will likely cause some travel disruption and generate some large and dangerous waves around the northern and eastern coasts of Northern Ireland, where winds will be strongest.

A spokesperson for Met Office said:

“Storm Corrie will bring a spell of very windy weather and high westerly then northwesterly winds to Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland and northern England later on Sunday before winds ease during Monday.

“High winds will reach Northern Ireland during Sunday afternoon and then spread eastwards, the windiest conditions then becoming confined to North Sea coastal areas by Monday morning.

“The strongest gusts will mostly occur around the coastlines and over the hills, with many of these exposed locations expected to see gusts reach 50-60 mph for a time.

“The highest winds are expected to be over northern Scotland.”
