Road, rail and air services hit with rare red weather warnings issued for Scotland and Northern Ireland
The Police Service of Northern Ireland described the storm as an “exceptional weather event” and said it was expected to bring the strongest winds seen in the region since 1998.
Red warnings for wind have been issued by the Met Office for much of Northern Ireland from 7am until 2pm on Friday.
It’s really unusual for us to have a red weather warning and that advice is in place for the duration of that warning.”
