Whilst the two rare red weather warnings do not cover most of Wiltshire, an amber warning for wind is in force.

The Met Office says “Storm Eunice may cause significant disruption due to extremely strong winds”.

Within the warning, residents are told there is a strong possibility of damage being caused to buildings, with a risk of rooves being blown off.

“There is a good chance that flying debris could result in a danger to life”, the warning reads.
