An amber wind warning has been issued for Saturday evening as Storm Dave is expected to bring “disruptive and potentially damaging winds” to parts of the UK.
The warning, covering northern England, north-west Wales and southern Scotland, will begin at 19:00 BST and is due to expire at 03:00 on Sunday.
The Met Office said injuries or danger to life could occur as a result of flying debris, with potential travel disruption and a “good chance” of power cuts.
A series of yellow wind and snow warnings are set to take effect on Saturday afternoon as the country braces for a blustery Easter weekend.
