The Met Office is urging those in affected areas to stay safe as risks of injury are heightened.

Scots should brace to batten down the hatches once again as parts of the country are set to be blasted by 'damaging' winds. The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning to wind that will impact parts of the southwest this weekend.

It covers Dumfries & Galloway, South Ayrshire and the majority of England's west coast. Gales are expected to reach a staggering 80mph on the coast, while inland areas are to see gusts between 60 to 70mph. Ahead of this, forecasters report a series of low-pressure systems due to arrive through the second half of the week and into the weekend, resulting in "very wet and windy weather." Thursday will remain blustery combined with heavy rain that is to move eastward throughout the day.
