The European Storm Forecast Experiment (Estofex) has issued a level 2 warning warning that the development of tornadoes 'cannot be ruled out'.

European forecasters added that the risk of an actual tornado could not be ruled out, as areas between Bristol and London were on high alert.

A level 1 tornado warning has been issued across wider areas of southern England and much of Wales, indicating a 'similar risk but low probability' of a tornado forming.

“There are currently a number of weather warnings in place, with one warning being issued across the UK at some point on Friday.

“Storm Eowyn is expected to cross Northern Ireland early on Friday morning. It will then continue northeast across northern Scotland on Friday afternoon and is expected to be centered near Shetland on Friday evening.”

National Highways, which operates England's motorways and major A roads, urged drivers in the North West, North East and Yorkshire to plan for disruption on Friday.

According to Met Eirean, red warnings are only a concern for “rare and very hazardous weather conditions”.
