The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind and rain across much of the UK due to Storm Darragh.
This means that strong and gusty winds may cause some disruption and damage and heavy rain could lead to some flooding and disruption.
The yellow warning for rain is currently in place until midday on Saturday, while the warning for wind is in place until 6am on Sunday (8 December)
“We continue to monitor the weather predictions and will have an announcement regarding Sunday for you tomorrow [Friday],” added the council spokesperson.
