Where is Storm Amy now and what is the latest Met Office advice?
The storm is currently tracking east across central England, with the worst conditions along a line from the Severn Estuary to the Humber. The Met Office has issued yellow wind warnings for much of England and Wales until 6pm. Gusts of 55–65 mph are likely inland, with 75 mph possible on coasts and high ground. The Moderate Rainfall Warning remains in place for parts of northern England.
Will Storm Amy affect Scotland and northern Ireland?
Yes, the storm will reach Scotland by late afternoon. The Storm Amy Weather Scotland page provides local details. Northern Ireland should expect gusty conditions from midday, easing by evening. Rainfall totals will be modest, but saturated ground increases the risk of localised flooding in the Lake District and southern Scotland.
Will Storm Amy cause travel disruption?
Yes. Road and rail delays are likely, especially on exposed routes. Ferry services across the Irish Sea and English Channel may be cancelled. Check your operator before travelling.
Is Storm Amy dangerous for pets or livestock?
Keep pets indoors during the worst wind. Secure garden fences and hutches. The RSPCA advises bringing small animals inside overnight.
When will Storm Amy pass?
The storm clears eastwards by late Friday evening. Saturday will be colder but largely dry with lighter winds across most of the UK.
