The Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings for this weekend as Storm Malik brings strong winds to the region.
Denmark will see the highest impact from the named storm on Sunday, the Met Office said, but Storm Malik’s track will bring high winds to much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England on Saturday.
Gales are likely to cause "some travel disruption" across the North West, while coastal areas could see "large and dangerous waves", the Met Office said.
