The Met Office has announced that two storms have been given names ahead of their landfall in the UK this week. Both yellow warnings and amber warnings have been issued for the whole country.
Storm Dudley is the first storm, set to arrive on Wednesday afternoon. An amber warning has been issued from 6pm for much of Scotland and some of the north of England due to the "very strong and disruptive" winds forecast, while a yellow warning has been issued for the rest of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland from 3pm for the same reason.
On Friday, Storm Eunice will arrive in the British Isles. A yellow weather warning has been issued for all of England and Northern Ireland from midnight on Friday morning until 9pm that evening due to the "very strong winds that could cause significant disruption".
