Liverpool is kicking October off with a rainy streak, reminding us that autumn is officially here, with the first storm of the season – Storm Amy. And if that wasn’t enough, the Met Office has now issued four days of Yellow Weather Warnings. And to help you prepare for the days ahead, we have put everything you need to know into one place.

The exact times of the Yellow Weather Warnings in Liverpool during Storm Amy

Liverpool has been given a Yellow Weather Warning for wind between 6pm on Friday, October 3 and 11:59pm on Saturday, October 4.

How to stay safe during the Yellow Weather Warning for wind

Commenting on the best course of action during Storm Amy, the Met Office said: “Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences.

Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.

If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly. When a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.”

Storm Amy

Speaking of Storm Amy, the Met Office commented: “Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of very strong winds to many parts of northern Britain later on Friday and into Saturday. Westerly winds will pick up during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph are likely for many areas and may reach 60 to 70 mph in some places for a time.

Exposed coasts and hills will see the highest gusts, which could exceed 80 mph. The strongest winds currently look more likely over parts of northern Scotland. This will lead to difficult driving conditions for high sided vehicles on prone routes, such as cross winds on exposed or high level routes.

The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, most persistent across parts of western Scotland.”
