Parkruns cancelled across the North East as Storm Amy continues to cause disruption

In the North East, lanes on major roads have been closed, trees have been upended in Ingelby Arncliffe, Stockton and Trimdon and events including Houghton Feast have been cancelled. Disruption is expected to continue throughout Saturday (October 4) as a Met Office yellow warning will remain in place from 3pm on Friday until midnight tonight.

Severe gales are forecast to continue in north east Scotland with a yellow warning for wind in place from midnight until 9am on Sunday, covering the Orkney and Shetland Islands, Highlands, Aberdeenshire and Moray. Sunday is expected to turn dry and less windy with sunny spells for most areas, but outbreaks of rain developing in the north west.
