An amber weather warning for wind has been issued for parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales on Saturday evening. The Met Office has upgraded a severe yellow weather warning for wind to amber, meaning flying debris could lead to “injuries or danger to life”. Parts of Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, North Wales and Scotland are covered by the amber warning, which comes into effect at 7pm on Saturday and is due to remain in place until 3am on Sunday. “The weather warnings are issued when we have information that suggests there will be challenging conditions, and we think we’ll have those challenging conditions later on today. “Motorists should check their planned routes before setting off.”Police in Scotland urged HGV and bus drivers to use “extreme caution” when Storm Dave hits.
