let me bring you right up to speed with the weather situation here in the uk. storm eowyn is bringing potential life—threatening winds to ireland and the uk with the loss of power and services and the closure of schools, rail, ferries and transport hubs. a major incident has been declared in the isle of man. millions have been urged to stay at home as a rare red warning for northern ireland and the scottish central belt, which means a danger to life, is now in place. many schools and large parts of the transport network are closed in these areas. and as you can see from this map, it's a giant storm where coastal areas could see winds of up to 100 mph. an amber weather warning is in place for the rest of scotland, northern england and north wales with separate yellow warnings for wind and rain covering the rest of the uk. eowyn is also battering ireland

which has recorded wind speeds of 114 miles per hour in galway — the strongest since records began. david wallace lockhart is in glasgow. what is it feeling like in those winds? i what is it feeling like in those winds?— what is it feeling like in those winds? . , ., those winds? i have been out reporting _ those winds? i have been out reporting since _ those winds? i have been out reporting since six _ those winds? i have been out reporting since six o'clock- reporting since six o'clock this morning and it does feel like, over the last hour and a half or so, the winds have massively picked up in scotland. that red warning came into place at 10am and you get the sense why now. this is the west of scotland, no stranger to windy conditions, but this feel particularly strong. we have a bit of shelter here next to a building that if i walk past a bit you all of a sudden start getting hit by the wind. you get hit by that almost sideways rain and you really do start to feel that the storm is really here. we have had winds

of almost 90 mph recorded in dumfries and galloway. that red warning in place until 5pm. the population in scotland seems to be treating it quite seriously. there were a lot of warnings in advance. the streets are quiet, the roads are quiet. that may well be because there's nothing anybody would be able to do if they went out and about. everything is more or less a shot from schools across the vast majority of council areas in scotland. the transport network is broadly down. trains across the country not running today. the ferry services not running either. that is the situation we are facing here. everything sort of coming to a standstill. there was an emergency alert that went out from the uk government to people's phones yesterday who were in affected areas, warning that it was a red level warning which means danger to life. people seem to be paying attention to that and broadly speaking staying at home. the red warning in place until 5pm

today. we have already had over 10,000 households losing power. we have road closures. it feels like the disruption is starting and given we have a few more hours of this red warning in place, it feels like there may well be more to come.- well be more to come. take care, well be more to come. take care. david _ well be more to come. take care, david wallace - well be more to come. take| care, david wallace lockhart well be more to come. take i care, david wallace lockhart in glasgow for us. let's speak to ross macleod, rnli water safety manager. explain what it is like when you are. you are at the other end of the country in dorset. i am here in paul in dorset at the rnli's support centre and the rnli's support centre and the majority of the bad weather happened in the early hours. the conditions are really quite severe at the moment so we are asking people to take real care and avoid taking unnecessary risks particularly around the coasts over the next few hours and couple of days. our volunteer lifeboat crew will be ready to respond to anybody in trouble in and around the coast

but we would very much prefer that people stay home, stay warm and stay safe.- that people stay home, stay warm and stay safe. how is that affectin: warm and stay safe. how is that affecting those _ warm and stay safe. how is that affecting those who _ warm and stay safe. how is that affecting those who have - warm and stay safe. how is that affecting those who have to - warm and stay safe. how is that affecting those who have to be i affecting those who have to be out on the water, for example? what is the advice for them? i think that the majority of people the risk is really clear and obvious today. we are encouraging people not to take unnecessary risks and given some of the ferries are cancelled i would be surprised if people are heading to the coast, let alone heading to the sea. foranybody coast, let alone heading to the sea. for anybody that does find themselves caught out in and around the coast, if you find yourself in the water unexpectedly try to remember the message where you are giving yourself the best possible chance of staying alive by relaxing in the water, tilting your head back with your ears submerged and trying to float until you can calm down or help arrives. if you're out and about and you see anybody in trouble on the coast the first thing you should do is dial 999 and ask the coastguard. think about your own personal safety as well and try not to get into the water

or at any difficult situation if you can avoid it.- or at any difficult situation if you can avoid it. the gusts on any coasts _ if you can avoid it. the gusts on any coasts can _ if you can avoid it. the gusts on any coasts can take - if you can avoid it. the gustsl on any coasts can take people by surprise. that is helpful advice, thank you for being with us, from the rnli. ben schofield is on the m62. give us the picture there. we are over _ give us the picture there. we are over the _ give us the picture there. - are over the m62 in west yorkshire, a lovely vantage point. we are just outside of huddersfield and as the m62 carries on west becomes the highest motorway in england as it travels on towards greater manchester. the picture on the roads is that there are closures in place for high sided vehicles. 0ver closures in place for high sided vehicles. over in the east in east yorkshire part of the m62 the bridge is closed to

high sided vehicles as there is the humber bridge. since midnight last night the a66 which links scotch corner on the a1 which links scotch corner on the ai with penrith on the m6, thatis the ai with penrith on the m6, that is completely closed to all traffic as well. here on the m62 it is extremely blustery appear. as i was driving up you could feel the gusts affecting the driving conditions. drivers seem to be taking it quite carefully, quite cautiously. traffic is still flowing here. highways england have told me that they have had a report of a lorry overturned on the m6. that is between junction 44 and 43 southbound and that has closed that lane of traffic, as you might imagine, while emergency services deal with that. more or less the picture is that the roads are coping 0k or less the picture is that the roads are coping ok so far with these winds. since we got here about an hour these winds. since we got here aboutan hour orso these winds. since we got here about an hour or so ago the wind speed seems to have

increased and it is extremely blustery appear.— increased and it is extremely blustery appear. ben schofield on the m62 — blustery appear. ben schofield on the m62 in _ blustery appear. ben schofield on the m62 in yorkshire, - blustery appear. ben schofield| on the m62 in yorkshire, thank you very much. many transport links are expected to be disrupted today — with scotrail cancelling all of its services. travel writer simon calder is at kings cross station in london. i cycled here this morning, and that was quite windy enough, thank you very much! and if it continues, we could well see disruption at the uk's two busiest airports — london heathrow and london gatwick — that's because they are so heavily used. but meanwhile, it is very much a story, as we have been hearing — northern ireland, scotland, extreme disruption. no public transport whatsoever in northern ireland. as you say, all scottish trains cancelled — and that's notjust on the scottish operator scotrail, but from here you cannot travel further than newcastle — well within england — and on the west coast main line, then you're advised not

to try to travel north of preston, which is basically about half way from london to glasgow. elsewhere, at the airports, we are seeing hundreds of cancellations in edinburgh and glasgow. the two belfast airports in particular, i'm counting well over 250 cancellations, and some of those are long—haul flights to and from places like dubai and doha in qatar, so it's going to be difficult for people to make up time. but, of course, as you've been reporting, the advice for anybody who's caught up in one of these areas is to stay at home. and one reason it's so difficult for the airlines to operate is that, actually, staff are being told, stay at home, it's too dangerous for you to get to work. so i'm afraid it's going to be very messy for tens of thousands of people today. i'm joined by our weather

presenter ben rich. i was seem to be travelling on the stormy weekend is that we have had recently. what is difficult to know is not only the weather where you are but where you are going and the territory in between and it seems to be in flux. tell us what the latest is.- seems to be in flux. tell us what the latest is. the advice for a lot of— what the latest is. the advice for a lot of people _ what the latest is. the advice for a lot of people today - what the latest is. the advice for a lot of people today is i for a lot of people today is simply not to travel. certainly in those red warning areas. this is one of the most powerful storms i have seen in my forecasting career. let's take a look at where we have those red warnings right now. red warning across northern ireland. that is valid until 2pm. the red warning across though central and southern and south—western parts of scotland has actually been extended a little bit further southwards just over the last hour or so. that warning is valid until 5pm. in this area we are looking at wind gusts quite widely of at— 90 mph but 100 mph gusts over the hills of some exposed coasts as well. this is really unusualfor the

uk and i think in those areas it is worth taking those warning seriously. a red warning seriously. a red warning means there is a very high likelihood of significant impacts. it is about taking action to keep yourself safe and avoiding travelling. dangerous conditions outdoors. we have this broader amber warning for wind across the northern half of the uk, north wales, north england, northwards. again some really strong winds throughout that area. this is a widespread system and a really powerful one. this is how it developed. and the satellite picture you can see that stripe of cloud suddenly developing a hock. this area of low pressure deepened really quickly. it underwent something we call explosive cyclogenesis and you might have heard the term a weather bomb. that is a storm that deepened really quickly on its journey to us. you can also see on the southern edge of that storm, just to the north of northern ireland, is sting jet, if you like. stripe of

cloud that looks a bit like a scorpion�*s tail and this sting jet, which may have occurred where high winds high in the atmosphere come down to the surface, may be responsible for this extraordinary wind gust on the west coast of the republic of ireland early today. 114 mph. that is provisionally a new record wind gust for the republic of ireland. it may be because of that sting jet but also you can see across the uk plenty of others' places not too far behind. it looks like northern ireland are seeing the strongest wind gust since 1998. right now the north coast of northern ireland are still very windy. we are going to see those strong winds transferring northwards. the central belt of scotland could turn really unpleasant to say the least through this afternoon. edinburgh, glasgow, could see wind gusts of 80 have edinburgh, glasgow, could see wind gusts of 80 hav
