The Met Office has issued for wind and rain on Sunday ahead of stormy weather and urged people to stay indoors.

The from 6am to 6pm for much of Britain on Sunday and from 3am to 3pm for all of Northern Ireland. The Met Office warned that "perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland."

The forecaster said: "Rain will accompany strong winds, which will make for very poor weather conditions, especially on roads. Winds will then ease from southwest to northeast of the warning area through the afternoon and early evening."

Under its general storm guidance, the Met Office advises UK households to "stay indoors as much as possible". It adds: "If you do go out, try not to walk or shelter close to buildings and trees. Keep away from the sheltered side of boundary walls and fences - if these structures fail, they will collapse on this side."

The guidance continues: "Do not go outside to repair damage while the storm is in progress. If possible, enter and leave your house through doors on the sheltered side, closing them behind you. Open internal doors only as needed, and close them behind you.

"Take care when driving on exposed routes such as bridges or high open roads, delay your journey or find alternative routes if possible. Slow down and be aware of side winds, particular care should be taken if you are towing or are a high sided vehicle.

"Do not drive unless your journey is really necessary."
