Met Office ‘danger to life’ warning as storm to sweep Yorkshire
The Met Office has issued a yellow ‘danger to life’ weather[1] warning across Yorkshire as people are being urged to be wary of strong winds as Storm Agnes sweeps through the UK.
Storm Agnes[2] is set to bring a spell of strong and disruptive winds through Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday, September 28. It’s set to cover Northern England, the Midlands, the South West, Scotland and Wales.
The government weather[3] department has made several warnings for people to be wary of, including a “danger to life” and damage to buildings.
On what to expect, The Met Office has said: “Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible. Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen. Some power cuts are likely to occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
“Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible. Some roads and bridges are likely to close.
“There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life that could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties, with a chance of some minor flooding of coastal roads.”
