The UK is bracing for the effects of a storm bringing strong winds and potential disruption.
At the end of the week, Storm Eowyn will be most severe around the coast, with Scotland expected to experience gusts of up to 90mph, according to the BBC.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Friday and Saturday, covering potential risks to property, travel disruptions, public services and possible power cuts.
Read on to find out where Storm Eowyn will affect the UK, according to the latest Met Office forecast.
Will London be affected by Storm Eowyn?
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind in London.
Forecasters predicted that Friday will bring heavy rain and winds of up to 53mph to London, while Saturday will be sunny and windy.
The Met Office said: “Storm Éowyn will bring strong winds Friday, with heavy rain clearing later. Winds easing Saturday, cloudy with rain and hill snow possible. Further strong winds and rain likely later Sunday.”
The yellow warning extends to the rest of the UK, with an amber warning for wind in place for the north of England.
Forecasts have dubbed the incoming storm a “weather bomb”.
The Met Office says a “weather bomb” happens when central pressure within a larger system of low pressure drops quickly over a 24-hour period, resulting in a peak of violent winds that are powerful enough to topple trees and damage buildings.
What should you expect from the wind warning?
Strong gusts of up to 53mph are expected to hit London on Friday, which could disrupt traffic, inflict localised damage and cause power cuts. Heavy rain and hill snow is also expected, and the Met Office has cautioned travellers to plan ahead and check for potential delays or road closures.
The storm, which is pronounced "ay-oh-win", is the fifth named storm to hit the UK since October and is expected to build fast on Thursday.
Other parts of the country could experience gusts of more than 80mph.
The Met Office also warned people in Scotland of potential damage to buildings, such as tiles being blown from roofs. It also warned of the risk of power cuts and disruptions to services like mobile phone coverage.
