THE Met Office's yellow weather warning is to remain over the next two days for almost all of the north, including Bradford, as Storm Malik continues.

The storm - named by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) as it will make a sizeable impact in Denmark on Sunday - has already brought high winds and wet weather to the area.

The damage caused by Storm Malik has been severe in Bradford with a dozen trees collapsing, roads shutting, houses going without power, and train lines closing.

According to the Met Office, gusts reached speeds of over 50mph throughout the course of the day.

Although these are predicted to slow down over the next 24 hours, come Sunday evening and into Monday morning gusts are expected to pick up once again to around 40mph.

Yesterday, Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: “The impacts of Storm Malik are going to be greatest in Denmark on Sunday, but the track of the storm in the preceding hours means that the UK will be dealt a glancing blow as Malik moves eastwards on Saturday.

“For those in the north of the UK there will be high winds and rain on Saturday, with showers possibly turning wintry in the high ground in the north. The highest winds are expected in exposed coastal areas in the north and east of Scotland, but it will be a windy day for most.”
