The United Kingdom (UK) is bracing for its first named storm of the season as Storm Amy is set to hit on Friday and Saturday, the Met Office has confirmed. The storm, moving in from the north-west, is expected to bring gusts of up to 80mph (129 km/h) and heavy downpours, prompting yellow weather warnings for wind and rain. The strongest winds are expected to ease on Saturday morning, though conditions will remain unsettled throughout the weekend. Storm Amy, named under the joint storm-naming system of the Met Office, Met Éireann, and KNMI, comes just ahead of the remnants of Hurricane Humberto, which is weakening in the mid-Atlantic. By Sunday, the storm is expected to move into the North Sea, leaving behind breezy conditions but a drier outlook for much of the UK.
