"Gusts of up to 40mph are set to sweep London going into this weekend, as the Met Office warns of danger to life ahead of Storm Amy. Londoners have been warned of strong winds and drizzly rain on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, which coincides with the arrival of the first named storm of the season. But the weather is set to become drier and brighter from Sunday, with highs of 19C (66F) forecast for the start of next week."
"Those living in more exposed areas could experience winds in excess of 95mph and two inches of rain, forecasters predict. Experts also warned of possible power cuts, property damage and hazardous driving conditions, leading to travel delays and increased pressure on emergency services. Urging the public to plan their journeys ahead of time, the AA's Shaun Jones said: "High winds can make handling a vehicle more difficult, especially for high-sided vehicles, and surface water can hide potholes or cause aquaplaning."
