but the strongest winds will be heading across the north—west of france and the channel islands.oing to see lots of times this autumn and winter season. so there'll be a large variance in the winds from place to place, even over a relatively short distance. today, while broadly speaking, it's a day of sunny spells and showers, the quiet before the storm. we do have some longer spells of rain in northern scotland where it continues to be quite cold. so overnight that storm ciaran, moves in, and the fierce, violent winds come behind this cold front in a conveyor belt of damaging winds that transfers across the north—west of france to the channel islands with winds gusting over 100 miles an hour in places. roofs get ripped off buildings for one or two places. lots of trees being brought down. so i'm expecting some severe transport disruption and disruption to power supplies as well. now, the winds could also bring impacts to devon and cornwall. and as we go through the day, the winds will tend to pick up once again into parts of kent and sussex. ferries are likely to be affected wit

but the violent winds will be heading across north—west france and the channel islands, where there couldl be parts of southern england that see winds that are kind of more typical for a normal area of low pressure and won�*t be too much of a problem. variable winds from this potentially dangerous storm for some, but it�*s this swathe of violent winds going into north—west france and the channel islands that are of particular concern. it�*s here where, as i say, there could be some roofs being brought down. i think quite a large number of trees will be toppled by those strong winds, particularly given that the trees are still in leaf. so some severe transport disruption and probably disruption to power supplies on the way for these areas. now, it will also be very windy for a time across parts of south—west england, the isles of scilly, cornwall, devon. later in the day we�*ll see some very strong winds working into kent. these areas could see some localised impacts, as well, but close to the center of the low pressure, actually, it won�*t be unusually windy. gusts of wind, perhaps around

tight squeeze in the isobars towards the southern flank, so again some gales expected across the channel islands northern ireland, northern england and much of scotland away from the east, it should be largely dry. but again, for eastern scotland, the ground saturated here and there will be some more showers. once more that deep area of low pressure moves away into the north sea as we head through saturday night and into sunday. we draw in more of a north—westerly wind, so the focus of the showers will change out towards the western isles, north—west scotland, western parts of northern ireland, western wales and the south—west of england. still quite blustery through the channel. further east, it does look largely dry, but there could be quite a bit of cloud here, again with that low pressure close by. temperatures once more round about the average for the time of year. now, of course, there will be lots of bonfire night celebrations happening over the weekend, particularly on sunday, which is looking dry again, especially in the east. some showers in the west, and there will be some long clear

that for the channel islands. how are people preparing?— for the channel islands.his could be as bad as that and that is dangerous for the environment and people who live here. if you imagine storm ciaran as an arrow coming up the channel, the channel islands are at the middle of the head of the arrow with the strongest wind. at least 90 mph, possibly up to 98 gusts. and you can see the sea is pretty ugly here at the north—west tip on jersey with a 30 foot swell on the incoming tide. like a perfect combination, the wind, tide, morning rush—hour tomorrow. the authorities are trying tomorrow. the authorities are trying to ensure as little risk as possible to ensure as little risk as possible to the people and the environment. what is the advice for people living there? ~ . .., , what is the advice for people living there? ~ ., , ., what is the advice for people living there? . ., , ., ., what is the advice for people living there? ., , ., there? what can they do to prepare? the iolice there? what can they do to prepare? the police chief _ there? what can they do to p

the winds are likely to be even stronger for a while in the channel islands. for a while in the channele really strong winds across the far south of the uk. could be quite windy in other areas, and around the storm, around that low pressure, we've got these showers of longer spells of rain. as the wind picks up in scotland, it will get wetter here. we may miss the worst of the wet weather in northern ireland. temperature—wise, well, of course, nothing to write home about — a cool 10—12 degrees. but at least during the afternoon, the winds in the southwest will start to ease and that's because the storm is going to be tracking away, and at the same time, it will be weakening. so, as we get into friday, the area of low pressure, what was the storm, is going to be sitting out in the north sea. so, it's not going to be as windy on friday, it's not going to be as wet. there'll be some sunshine, but also some showers blown in, and there'll still be some blustery winds. the windiest weather, perhaps the wettest weather will be across eastern scotland and the north east of england. and those te
