Strong gales of up to 80mph are set to sweep across parts of the UK on Monday.

The Met Office has warned coastal routes and communities could be particularly affected by Storm Brendan as large waves batter seafronts.

Yellow weather warnings are in place for Northern Ireland, much of the western half of the UK and the north-east of Scotland from 12pm on Monday to midnight.

Frank Saunders, of the Met Office, said the UK and Ireland will turn increasingly windy throughout Monday as the storm, named by Irish forecaster Met Eireann, sweeps in.

He said: “It’s going to be windy across the western half of the UK, with gusts reaching 60-70mph along Irish Sea coastlines, the west of Scotland and perhaps some English Channel coasts – maybe even 80mph in a few exposed places.”
