Get those scaffolds checked: The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning as the UK braces itself for 100mph winds.

UPDATE: Met Office issues second RED weather warning as high winds hit the UK.

The most severe weather warning has been issued for the coastline of Devon and Cornwall as well as the south coast of Wales amid fears that the approaching storm Eunice could be among the UK’s worst in 30 years.

The high alert which is in force for tomorrow (18 Feb) comes after the Met Office upgraded its “danger to life” amber alert covering almost the whole of England.

Forecasters fear strong winds could hit 100mph in some parts of the country and may endanger lives, tear roofs from houses and bring down power lines and scaffolding.

The Met Office said a red warning means “dangerous weather is expected” with it “very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure”.

People are also advised to avoid travelling where possible.
