Glasgow weather latest as Storm Corrie set to batter Scotland amid Met Office warnings

Glasgow is set for more adverse weather on Sunday with Storm Corrie set to sweep across Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon has warned certain parts of the country could experience 'more severe' conditions than during Storm Malik on Saturday, when winds of over 100mph were recorded.

Glasgow will be under a yellow weather warning for wind from 3pm, which is due to remain in place until 12 noon on Monday and gusts of over 50mph are expected.

On Saturday, a number of homes were evacuated due to an 'unsafe structure' in Glasgow's west end.

Police and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene of the historic Trinity College building in Lynedoch Street, with nearby roads shut down and an 'exclusion zone' put in place.

Storm Malik also forced over 50 trains from Glasgow Queen Street to be cancelled, while the Erskine Bridge had to be closed by police on Saturday afternoon due to high winds.

Tragically, a woman lost her life in Aberdeen after being struck by a falling tree. The First Minister said her thoughts and condolences are with those affected.

Sounding the warning ahead of Storm Corrie's arrival, the Met Office say: "Storm Corrie will likely cause some travel disruption and generate some large and dangerous waves around the coasts."
