Storm Goretti live: danger to life warning as heavy rain, strong winds and snow batter UK

Red and amber weather warnings have been issued across the UK as Storm Goretti evolves into a ‘weather bomb’

More than 50,000 properties were reportedly without power in the South West on Thursday evening, the National Grid’s website said.

In the West Midlands about 9,000 had no electricity and 2,000 were without power in Wales.

As that rain pushes its way and it hits against that cold air that we currently have across us … and so on the northern edge, we are likely to see some fairly significant snow as we go through later tomorrow and into Friday.
