The latest storm set to hit parts of Britain this Easter weekend has been named Storm Dave.
A warning for very strong winds that could cause damage and travel disruption was issued for parts of the UK over the Easter weekend.
It is set to bring damaging winds across northern parts of the UK later on Saturday and into Easter Day, with some disruptive snow possible as well as in northwest Scotland.
The Met Office said delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport were likely from 6pm on Saturday until midday Sunday for Scotland, Northern Ireland, North Wales and an area of northern England stretching from Liverpool to Newcastle.
Winds of up to 90mph could be possible in western Scotland, with gusts of 70mph more widely.
Forecasters added that there was a chance of power cuts, with the potential to affect other services such as mobile phone coverage.
The name Dave was chosen after being nominated for “my beloved husband who can snore three times louder than any storm”.
