THE NEXT storm set to hit the UK today and tomorrow has been named.

Arriving just days after Storm Dudley and Eunice battered the country, the next meteorological event has been named Storm Franklin.

It is expected to reach the UK, including Glasgow, tonight and tomorrow morning.

High winds and rain are expected and the MET Office has issued an amber warning in the Northern areas of Northern Ireland.

Glasgow is set to see rain tonight from 6pm onwards and early Monday morning.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “Following the significant impacts of Storm Eunice on Friday, Storm Franklin will bring further high winds for many late on Sunday and into Monday, although not on the same scale as Eunice.  

“Coastal areas of Northern Ireland, especially on that north coast, will get the strongest wind gusts, which could be around 80mph in a few places.

"Amber and Yellow Wind Warnings have been issued, and people should remain cautious ahead of the system that will bring 50-60mph wind gusts for much of the UK from late on Sunday and through Monday.”
