Britain to be battered by Storm Isha after Met Office upgraded amber wind warning

Weather warnings have been issued for parts of the UK with Storm Isha set to approach the country on Sunday evening. The Met Office says there are amber warnings for wind for northern and western England, Wales, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland from Sunday into Monday. Much of the UK has a yellow warning for wind and rain. Forecasters say there is a risk to life in coastal areas from large waves and debris being blown inland. The wet and windy weather follows several days of freezing conditions that saw the temperature dip to -15C in Scotland.
