Storm Amy continues to ravage Scotland, having broken several records already. And the UK has been warned to brace for more “disruption” over the weekend as Met Office weather warnings for wind and rain carry on.

Ferries and trains have been cancelled up and down the country with many roads closed in both directions due to debris in the way.

Storm Amy’s highest recorded wind gust was in Tiree last night, Friday, October 3 at a whopping 96mph. Baltasound in Shetland hit 947.9 hPa, which is provisionally the lowest October pressure ever recorded at a UK land station.

The north of Scotland will face a new amber warning for “damaging” winds with gusts of more than 90mph in some areas.

Most of the country, apart from the east coast, will be covered by a yellow warning for rain while a yellow wind alert will be in place across the UK.
