A yellow weather warning has been issued by the MET office, as Storm Debi is set to hit Sheffield, with wind speeds reaching up to 52mph.

The warning is forecast for 3pm when parents will be on the school run.

Sheffield City Council announced that they will be on standby for any fallen trees and have released a helpline.

Sheffield Council’s warning

The storm will move north-eastwards across the UK and has raised concerns about tornadoes occurring in Leeds and other parts of Yorkshire

The Environment Agency has issued five flood warnings (expect imminent flooding) and 47 flood alerts (flooding possible) across the UK.

The Met Office said: “Storm Debi is expected to develop and move across Ireland and northern England on Monday.

“Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth of this low, there is a chance of very strong westerly winds developing along the Irish Sea coasts of Wales and northwest England on Monday morning before extending inland during the day, slowly easing later.

“Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible. Some damage to buildings, such as tiles being blown from roofs, could happen. Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.”

Residents of Catcliffe are still recovering from the damage of Storm Babet, with some still living in hotels, whilst their house gets fixed.
