Forecasters have warned people living in Northern Ireland and southern Scotland to expect gales of 80mph. On Friday heavy snow, rain, thunderstorms and wind caused disruption across large swaths of Britain. “With thunderstorms and those sorts of systems you get rapidly rising and falling air,” said Grahame Madge, a spokesman for the Met Office. The Met Office said there was a small chance of damage to buildings, power cuts and interruptions to mobile phone coverage.
