Storm Diana was named by the IPMA Portuguese weather service and is currently looking like it’s going to hit the Azores before making its way over to the UK and Ireland on Wednesday.
UK weather forecasters also said they are expecting winds of up to 96 km/h to hit coastal areas in the west later this week.
Craig Snell from the Met Office said they “are looking at the areas around the Irish Sea coast being worst hit”, though the storm is expected to have lost some of its intensity by the time it hits Ireland.
