A number of flights scheduled for Friday (August 23) have been axed as the Met Office issues yellow weather warnings for wind and rain.

Storm Lilian is set to bring 80mph winds predominantly to the north of England, with Yorkshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, Tyneside and Cumbria among the counties affected.

The north of Wales and southwest Scotland are also under yellow weather warnings.

Storm Lilian is the first named storm since April. It could lead to more travel disruption for the railways and drivers this weekend.

The RAC estimates that there will be 3.2 million leisure trips by car on Friday and 19.2 million over the three days.

Brits have been told to drive carefully over the weekend. Those staying at home have been told to make sure there are no loose items that could be swept away, such as bins, sheds, and trampolines.

The Met Office said: "An area of strong winds associated with Storm Lilian is expected to move east across northern England during Friday morning."

"While there remains some uncertainty about the details, some very strong winds are likely to develop, with gusts widely in the 50 to 60mph range, with a lower chance that a small core of winds gusting 65-75 mph, perhaps 80 mph, could push quickly east during the morning. These winds are likely to affect major routes such as the M6, A66 and A1(M), as well as potentially impacting infrastructure."
