Britain warned of ‘weather bombs’ with winds of 80mph from the Atlantic

People in Brittan have been warned to be wary of the ’weather bomb’ that would descend on the country in the form of winds of 80mph coming in from the Atlantic. It would disrupt travel.
The Met Office has already issued a number of amber and yellow weather warnings as the cold front sweeps in, bringing winds of up to 80mph. In met terminology, this is known as rapid cyclogenesis and it is a deep low pressure system that is moving slowly eastwards between Scotland and Iceland.
Drivers are being cautioned to expect disruption to both morning and evening rush hours. The gusts of winds with speeds of 60 to 70mph will develop quite widely across the north, with perhaps 80mph over northwest Scotland. As a result, there could be travel disruptions in Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England and northern parts of the Republic. Disruptions in ferry services have been reported from Scotland where the winds have given rise to unusually high waves, with sea swells of up to 12m in parts. As a precaution, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued eight flood alerts for the west coast.
Moreover, Network Rail and ScotRail have announced cancellation of a number of train services as a safety measure.
