Storm Darragh is set to bring 80mph winds to parts of Lancashire over the weekend, prompting the Met Office to issue an amber weather warning.

An amber weather warning for “potentially damaging” winds will be in place from 3am until 9pm on Saturday (December 7).

Snow is possible in the north in areas above 200m elevation.
