An area of low pressure, which will affect parts of the UK, has been named by Met Éireann – the Irish met service – as Storm Debi. Storm Debi is the fourth major storm of the season and has the potential to bring very strong and disruptive winds to Salford today (Monday 13th November), which has prompted the UK Met Office to issue an Amber Weather Warning for the region. The warning is in force from 4am to 6pm on Monday. Along with strong winds with the potential for 80mph gusts, heavy rain can also be expected throughout the day. Drivers of high sided vehicles are reminded to take care when out and about on the roads, especially when crossing the high level M60 bridge at Barton. The wind has the potential to cause damage to power lines and buildings, although Northern Ireland is expected to take the brunt of the storm with wind speeds being lower as it traverses across the county and onwards into England and Wales. Jason Kelly is a Chief Meteorologist with the Met Office. He said: “Storm Debi will develop quickly and bring potentially very strong and damaging winds to parts of the Republic of Ireland, which is why Met Éireann has decided to name the system.” “The strongest winds are expected to affect parts of the Republic of Ireland early on Monday, possibly coinciding with the morning commute, before then affecting parts of north Wales and northern England into the afternoon. Whilst the very strongest winds will have eased somewhat before reaching the UK, we are still expecting some significant impacts and a wind warning has been issued. Additionally, Debi will bring a period of heavy rain to Northern Ireland for which a combined wind and rain warning has been issued.” It comes after Storms Babet and Ciarán both wreaked havoc across the country over the past couple of months.
