The Met Office has issued warnings for strong winds and heavy rain that are set to sweep across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland this weekend. According to the latest forecasts, residents can expect gusty winds of up to 60mph in some areas, accompanied by prolonged spells of heavy rain.
Temperatures will plummet to as low as 2°C (36°F) in some parts of the country, with wintry conditions including frost and ice expected. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind and rain, which is currently in place until Monday morning.
The worst-hit areas are likely to be the north-west of England, Scotland, and Wales, where winds will be strongest and rain heaviest. However, other parts of the country can also expect significant disruptions due to the weather conditions.
