Met Office forecasters have predicted the exact time winds from Storm Éowyn will die down.

The storm reached its zenith in the early afternoon (January 24), with winds of 90mph forecast in Glasgow city centre. The Met Office issued a rare red weather warning for wind brought by Storm Éowyn as Police Scotland warned those in the red zone not to travel.

Public transport is severely disrupted, with no First Bus services in Glasgow, the Subway closed and no ScotRail services running anywhere in the country. Glasgow city centre streets are near deserted as residents take cover.

Gusts of 90mph have been forecast for the city centre the same hour. The red weather warning is expected to remain in place until 5pm Friday, with forecasters warning of 'very dangerous conditions' and 'lying debris resulting in danger to life'.

An amber warning for wind will remain in place until 9pm, before being replaced by a yellow warning for wind that will remain in place until 3pm Saturday. The Met Office has also issued a yellow warning for snow and ice from midnight to 11am Saturday. Forecasters expect wintry showers for Glasgow between 9pm on Friday and 8am on Saturday.

Maximum wind gusts will remain above 80mph for much of the afternoon, dropping below 70mph this evening and continuing to settle through the night, but remaining strong blustery into Saturday afternoon.
