Storm Amy hits Great Britain

A man has died and a new severe weather warning has been issued across the UK.

Storm Amy continues to cause flooding, power outages and major infrastructure damage, The Guardian reports.

The victim was recorded in Ireland, while in the north of the latter, about 9,000 homes were left without electricity.

Warnings and emergency measures across the UK

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for strong winds covering the entire UK. In London, all eight of the royal parks, including Hyde Park and Richmond Park, were closed on Saturday due to the risk of strong winds. Authorities said their opening on Sunday would be delayed as safety inspections were needed.

In Scotland, authorities expect the storm to cause further problems on Sunday, with winds expected to exceed 90 miles per hour in the north of the country. Much of Scotland is under a heavy rain warning, while the whole of Britain remains under a strong wind warning.

New atmospheric pressure record

Storm Amy has broken a historic record for the lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded in October in Britain.

At Baltasound, Shetland, the central pressure was measured at 947.9 hPa, surpassing the previous record of 950.9 hPa from 1988.

Chaos in transport and energy

In Glasgow, a building collapsed on Friday, falling on a vehicle and causing road closures in the city centre. Numerous power outages were reported in the Highlands and northern islands.

According to Fraser Wilson from Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, around 62,000 people are still without power, while work to restore supply will take time due to the severe damage.

Major roads have been closed to traffic, including the Forth Road Bridge, while several other bridges have been opened with speed restrictions. Train lines and ferries have suffered extensive disruption, with ScotRail warning of "significant disruption" to services.

Network Rail stated that "Storm Amy has hit much harder and faster than predicted", reporting over 60 incidents in the first two hours of the storm alone.

Forecast for the coming days

According to Met Office forecaster Neil Armstrong, “Storm Amy will have a major impact on Scotland and Northern Ireland, with damaging winds reaching up to 100 miles per hour in some areas.” He added that heavy rainfall could lead to further flooding in the western part of Scotland.

Authorities have urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and check the situation before setting off.

Meanwhile, the storm is expected to continue to affect northern Scotland, Orkney and the Shetland Islands until Sunday morning.
