Storm Dave to ease as warnings lifted on Easter Sunday
Amber wind warnings linger across parts of the UK as Storm Dave deepens, but forecasters expect easing conditions by Easter Sunday.
Storm Dave has deepened across the UK, bringing strong winds that prompted amber wind warnings for parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales. Gusts were recorded at up to 66 mph in Capel Curig, with authorities urging people to secure loose items, monitor travel conditions, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Forecasters say the storm will continue to deepen for a short period but is expected to ease through Easter Sunday. While the peak of the winds is forecast to pass, drivers are being told to remain cautious, as travel disruptions can still occur as rain bands move through the region.
By Easter Sunday, conditions are forecast to improve as Storm Dave moves away. The amber wind alert was lifted at about 3am for parts of northern England, north-west Wales and southern Scotland, signaling a calmer spell to begin the holiday weekend. Officials remind the public to stay vigilant for lingering gusts and to follow local updates for any last-minute changes.
