UK braced for Atlantic 'weather bomb' storm and high waves

(BBC) Severe gales and "exceptionally high" waves are expected to hit coastal areas in the north west of the UK later.

The Met Office says western and northern Scotland and the far north of Northern Ireland should be prepared for "dangerous conditions" during the day.

Train and ferries have been cancelled as a rapidly-developing Atlantic storm - a so-called weather bomb - threatens gusts of up to 80 mph (130 kph).

A yellow "be aware" warning is in place for northern England and north Wales.

Ahead of the forecast storms, ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne warned of severe disruption to its services.

What's that got to do with what I said ? It's the same every year but the press have to sensationalise it more each year to keep selling their papers. My kids were born on the west coast of Scotland - we know

FWIW -- This is the remains of the big storms in USA recently. They always gather a bit of strength while coming across the open North Atlantic.

Don't worry -- they'll not be at full force in sunny Cheshire
