The Met Office’s Chief Forecaster said the public should be prepared for the the risk of disruption to transport and possibly also power supplies.

In addition, large waves are likely to affect some coasts.

The Chief Forecaster added: “There remains some uncertainty regarding the exact track of the vigorous depression and hence the areas more likely to be affected by the worst of the winds. However, current ideas suggest that parts of western England, Wales and northern England will bear the brunt with gusts of 60-70 mph widely, perhaps with gusts of 80-90 mph in exposed parts of north and west Wales and north west England.”

Schools closed today include Oakgrove Intergrated College in Derry; St Mary’s Primary School, Altinure, Park; Gaelscoil Neachtain, Dungiven; and Ardstraw Jubilee Primary School, Strabane.
