England and Wales will be hit by a significant storm on Sunday night with winds of up to 80mph in some areas, the Met Office has warned. Forecasters say the storm is expected to bring exceptionally strong winds to parts of the UK when it strikes late on Sunday night. There were hopes the huge storm brewing over the Atlantic Ocean would miss the UK, and sweep instead through the English Channel. But meteorologists are now certain it will strike the south west of England and could leave a trail of destruction as it gusts north-east across the country, causing structural damage, and bringing down trees and power lines. The Met Office said winds of between 60mph and 80mph are expected across the southern half of the UK.
