Merseyside to be hit by Storm Dudley and Eunice amid 'danger to life' weather warning

The UK is set to be hit by two storms in three days this week as weather forecasters warned of up to 90mph winds.

Storm Dudley will cross the northern half of the UK from Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Storm Eunice will bring strong winds and potentially some snow for parts of the country on Friday.

Because of the incoming storms, the Met Office has extended its "danger to life" weather warning to Merseyside.

The storms will see the Liverpool region hit by gusts of wind that are up to 60mph and the severe weather is likely to cause some disruption.

The forecasting agency said: "There is a small chance that flying debris will result in a danger to life, with fallen trees, damage to buildings and homes, roofs blown off and power lines brought down."

It continued: "There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.

"Where damaging winds occur, there is a chance that long interruptions to power supplies and other services may occur.

"There is a small chance that roads, bridges and railway lines could close, with long delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights."

Most of this week will see high winds and wet weather, with Storm Dudley set to hit the city on Wednesday.

The Met Office said: "Wednesday will be wet and windy at Storm Dudley crosses the UK. Rain will be heavy at times with gales expected, possibly severe over coasts and high ground.

"Chilly with blustery showers on Thursday. Wet, very windy with possible hill snow on Friday as Storm Eunice arrives."
