South Lanarkshire: This weekend, the area is in for some wild weather. Winds could hit 60mph, and the Met Office has issued a yellow warning.

The warning covers much of Northern and Western Scotland, including Northern Ireland. It starts at midnight on Friday and lasts until midday Saturday.

Residents should expect travel delays and possible power outages. Coastal areas might see even stronger gusts, so it’s best to stay alert.

The Met Office suggests securing loose items outside your home. Think about bins, garden furniture, and anything that could blow away.
