A tornado warning has been issued ahead of the arrival of Storm Eowyn set to batter UK’s coasts with 100mph winds this weekend.The Met Office issued a rare red warning across Northern Ireland and Scotland which will see winds rapidly during the Friday morning rush hour with peak gusts of 80-90 mph fairly widely and perhaps up to 100 mph along some exposed coasts.

The red weather warning issued by Ronaldsway Met Office is the first for seven years. A red warning is the most severe that can be issued and represents a danger to life.

Two new weather warnings have been issued as a second spell of stormy weather follows hot on the heels of Éowyn. A yellow weather warning for wind is in place on Sunday, while a yellow warning for rain is in place on Sunday and Monday.
