The Met Office says strong winds in the Channel Islands should start to “ease off” for the rest of the day, after they received a red warning for wind overnight and all schools had to close today.

Officers have put two warnings in place for Storm Austin in the UK, after the amber warning ended at 10:00 BST and some parts of the country saw really strong gusts of wind – some over 70mph (110km/h) in the early hours.

Gusts of 76pmh (120km/h) were recorded in Saint Mary’s in the Isle of Scilly.

There is now a yellow wind warning for parts of south west England, parts of Wales and along the south coast, where there is still the risk of further strong and gusty winds.

Then for later on today, there is a yellow warning for parts of southern England, where winds will not be as strong as earlier, but could see inland gales up to 55-65pmh (90-105km/h).

On Saturday, Storm Boelo is forecast to bring more strong winds. The impact is expected to be on more northern parts of the country.

The Met Office has implemented an amber warning for wind on Saturday to cover parts of Scotland, parts of northern England and parts of Northern Ireland.

The strongest gusts are expected overnight from Saturday into Sunday, with gusts of up to 80mph (130km/h) predicted around exposed coast and headlands.

There is also a wider yellow warning for wind covering more of Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England tomorrow.
