UK weather: Storm Darragh prompts red warning of ‘danger to life’ 90mph winds

Fourth named storm of season follows concern over lack of flood warnings for Storm Bert last week

A red warning for wind, signalling danger to life", has been issued by the Met Office for parts of Wales and south-west England on Saturday as Storm Darragh hits the UK.

Gusts of 90mph (145km/h) or more were possible over the coasts and hills of west and south Wales, as well as funnelling through the Bristol Channel with some very large waves on exposed beaches, the forecaster said.
