Storm Éowyn is battering the west coast as a rare red weather warning has come into effect in Scotland. The area covered by the high winds alert - which lasts until 17:00 - has been extended to include most of Dumfries and Galloway. It already covered most of the central belt, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and some islands.

Storm Éowyn became the strongest storm in the world on Friday, battering parts of Ireland with destructive winds over 180 km/h
