Much of the country has been told to brace for winds that could hit up to 80mph
In addition to the winds, there are going to be some large waves as well
A string of Met office alerts will activate, with a yellow wind weather warning from midday on Wednesday to 7am on Thursday stretching across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, as well as the south-west of England, the West Midlands and most of the north of England , and two yellow rain warnings covering areas of Scotland from 3pm on Wednesday to midnight.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan told the PA news agency: “We are likely to potentially see some damaging winds, the possibility of some brief power interruptions, particularly in Irish sea coastal areas.
RNLI water safety partner Sam Hughes said: “It is not worth risking your life. If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard. If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them. Don’t go in the water yourself – you may end up in difficulty too.”
