Wind speeds in\u00a0<strong>Ireland<\/strong> are expected to soon pick up, and hurricane-forced gusts are to be expected even far inland and in non-exposed locations. However, the coasts will by far experience the worst conditions, with seriously impressive wind speeds possibly exceeding 180km\/h being predicted. By the afternoon, the storm will have moved on to the\u00a0<strong>UK<\/strong>, where especially <strong>Scotland<\/strong> will receive widespread hurricane-forced winds; gusts are expected to reach up to and maybe even exceed 170km\/h here as well. The remaining, more southern parts of the\u00a0<strong>UK<\/strong> will also experience stormy conditions, however to a lesser extent than in Scotland.
