Storm Éowyn tracker: When and where Storm Éowyn will hit Scotland

A yellow warning for wind has been in place since 6am this morning, with an extremely rare red weather warning coming into force from 10am.

Gusts of more than 100mph have already been recorded in Northern Ireland – which is also under a red weather warning – as Storm Éowyn continues to move north east and toward parts of West and Central Scotland.

Schools and shops around Scotland have been closed for the day, with trains, buses and flights around the country cancelled as the government asks people to remain indoors where possible.

With all of Scotland covered under some kind of warning throughout the day, here are all of the Scottish locations expected to be impacted by Storm Éowyn, as well as a live tracker.

Track Storm Éowyn as it moves across Scotland
