The very windy weather causes conditions that can be dangerous.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland described the storm as an "exceptional weather event" as the storm is expected to bring the strongest winds seen in the country since 1998.

A less severe amber weather warning for wind has also been issued for other parts of Scotland, north Wales and the north of England.

Planes, trains, roads and ferries are being affected and people have been warned to stay at home where possible.
