The Met Office has warned of a "danger to life" from "flying debris", adding that there is also a "slight chance" of some damage to buildings. Power cuts could also occur and mobile phone signal could be impacted.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, Mark Sidaway, said: \u201cA deep area of low pressure is expected to approach south-west Ireland early on Wednesday, and track across northern parts of the UK before clearing early Thursday. There is some uncertainty on the precise track and strength of this weather system, however the most likely outcome at present is for a wide swathe of 50 to 60mph gusts affecting inland areas.<\/p>\n
