The Met Office has named Storm Dave as the fourth storm of the year, bringing strong winds to parts of the UK over the Easter weekend. Yellow weather warnings for wind are in place for Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales, and northern England from Saturday evening into Easter Sunday.
Wind gusts of 60 to 70mph are expected widely, with potential for 80 to 90mph in exposed coastal areas of Scotland. A separate yellow warning for snow covers north-west Scotland from 3pm Saturday to 3am Sunday, with up to 10-20cm possible above 200m, leading to blizzard conditions.
Deputy Chief Forecaster Tom Crabtree urged people to prepare their properties for the strong winds and stay updated as warnings may change. Heavy rain is also forecast as the storm moves eastwards across the UK.
