No warnings have been issued as yet, but they won't be far away.

There has been a lot of talk in the media recently about possible impacts from ex-Hurricane Humberto or ex-Hurricane Imelda at around that time but I can see that our upcoming storm isn't really connected to that otherwise it would have been known as Storm Humberto or Storm Imelda as ex-Hurricanes and other storms which were previously named under different systems always retain that original name. However, it wasn't until I read a recent article on NW's site which went into the fact that it is actually a separate low pressure system forming ahead of those two ex-hurricanes, which will be impacting us and so it is because this is a completely separate system altogether that the Met Office were able to officially name it as Storm Amy as they have now done.

I can see at the moment that there are only yellow warnings for wind and rain associated with that but given that the Met Office have taken the decision to officially name this particular storm, I would expect at least one of those warning to be upgraded to amber closer to the actual time frame.

I thought that initially, but I think it's clear that's not the case if you watch the video I posted. Amy forms ahead of Humberto. 

That's how I see the video and it's backed up by the fax charts,

The gale force winds are expected from 5pm

No real wind to speak of yet but the forecast is for it to pick up here this evening. 

Looking at the XC obs map, there's a 96mph at Tiree wind wise, so a touch breezy (appreciate it's a coastal NW part of the UK but if that happened down here it'd be carnage!). Other than that seems like 50-75 for various parts of Scotland, with low 60s in parts of Northern England. 

We have also had some heavy rain from that which has now given way to frequent blustery showers. As I write, this has resulted in 10.4 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank and although we've had far wetter days than that, this has still enough to give us our wettest day of this autumn so far.

"In the Republic of Ireland, a man in his 40s died in County Donegal in a "weather-related incident" and about 120,000 properties remain without power. At Dublin Airport, about 20 of Saturday's flights have been cancelled by airlines as winds continue to disrupt some operations. "

The yellow warnings are for medium probability and medium impact. I guess that that the MetO thought that that Edinburgh could soak up a bit less than an inch of rain over the day without a great deal of impact (flooded roads etc). You might well have had a yellow warning if the forecast was for 20mm in an hour, say.

If I saw a forecast for 20mm of rain in just an hour, I would probably be expecting at least an amber warning for that rather than a yellow warning but then, I'm not an actual expert in these matters and there are many members of this forum who are far more knowledgeable than me in that regard.

I’m not Irish, Roger, but we’ve been staying in Belfast with family and friends…and had the misfortune to be flying back from George Best City Airport this am..not a bundle of fun…one abandoned take off due to high wind speed then sat for 3 hours before we took off..all rather scary and several passengers had panic attacks…and got off the plane…flying into Gatwick this afternoon was a tad bumpy too! 

Thanks CWF. I've just been reading this UK 8hr BBC update: I expect more updates today.

We've seem to have got off relatively lightly here in Lincolnshire. Trees were having a good hammering.

Damage and disruption as Storm Amy hits UK

Three men were brought to safety following a cave rescue lasting more than 30 hours in "appalling conditions" during Storm Amy.

The experienced cavers were stranded in the challenging Dowber Gill Passage, near Grassington, North Yorkshire.

The alarm was raised at 22:00 BST on Thursday when they failed to return and one of their wives called the police.

Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association said more than 100 volunteers took part in the "long and difficult" rescue, which was hampered by worsening weather, flooding, rough terrain and long hours underground.
