A weather warning of wind issued ahead of Storm Freya has been updated.

The Met Office said: "Storm Freya will bring very strong winds, with some travel disruption and possible dangerous conditions late Sunday and into Monday."
Gusts of 55-65 mph are likely widely within the warning area those there is the potential for gusts of 70-80 mph in some areas, including north west England.
