Storm Corrie: Exact times and places for weather warnings and what to expect

Storm Corrie is set to hit Scotland just a day after Storm Malik caused chaos throughout the country.

Strong gusts of wind - reaching up to 90mph - are due as the Met Office issues an amber 'danger to life' warning.

Traffic disruption and hazardous conditions are expected as Scots face another day of unsettled weather.

The Storm is also likely to generate some large and dangerous waves around the coasts.

It comes after Storm Malik caused destruction across Scotland as thousands were left without power with road bridges closed and nearly 200 trains cancelled throughout the day yesterday.

Tragically, the Storm took the life of two Scots as woman died after being hit by falling tree in the Aberdeen area while a man was killed after his lorry was blown onto the M74.

With blustery conditions continuing this afternoon and into tonight, Scots are urged to stay safe.

Weather warnings are in place for areas of Scotland (Met Office.)
