The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Shepton Mallet this week as strong winds are predicted.

Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and some disruption.

The warning - which covers the south west, Midlands and north of England - is in place from 12am on Friday 24 January until 11.59pm the same day.

The Met Office said: "Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen."

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Almond, said: “A very deep area of low pressure will bring a very unsettled, potentially disruptive, spell of weather to the UK through Friday and into Saturday.

"Winds will begin to strengthen on Thursday night with the peak gusts forecast through Friday in Northern Ireland and western Scotland.

"The wind will also be accompanied by heavy rain bringing some unpleasant conditions to end the week.

“We have issued a Yellow weather warning for wind, and with several days before the impactful weather, the forecast details are likely to be fine-tuned during the week, so stay tuned to your local forecast and keep up to date with Met Office warnings.”
