Named by Met Éireann because of the potential for disruption mainly to the Republic of Ireland but there will also be impacts in England.

Will attach the warning in the next post.

Placemarking, slap in the middle of the yellow warning in England.

Amber warning issued for County Armagh and County Down.

Some schools in Ireland are closed tomorrow or have delayed opening in the morning

Place marking

UCD keep pushing back opening time. Currently 11am. Really should just keep schools and colleges closed rather than having to keep pushing back

There is a low probability of some extreme winds over western Ireland in the early hours. Take good care in that region.

Why do they always give them such random names?

DS's college are having no truck with 'unique' spellings and have let him know that the college will open at 10am because of Storm Debbie.

I my mind the pronunciation is like Giovanni's at the start of this dance.

Nominated by the public in U.K., ROI and the Netherlands. Named for specific people. The storm is named after Debi Garft, a recently retired policy officer in the Scottish Government Flooding Team.

In red area here (Co Clare coastline). Ddog refusing to go out of the back door. Eerily calm actually. Reminding me of Ophelia.

Uh-oh. That's worrying. Mind yourself.

It's raining quite heavily here.

Rain now! DDog on strike.

That's unfortunate and rather tactless

Debbie has already be used in for a hurricane that hit the island of Ireland, and still has the record for highest wind speeds ever recorded there; and which killed 12 people in the Republic and 6 in Northern Ireland.

Things are really picking up here, just in Yorkshire on the edge of the amber weather warning. BBC now saying gusts of up to 66mph for us, which seems a lot given we are in the yellow area.

We didn't get the brunt of it this time in Cork, but parts of the west of Ireland experienced a lot of damage. It was apparently very intense.

In a yellow warning area, wind is really picking up though, just had some flying debris hit the bedroom window hard.

It looks nice outside where I am, sunny blue skies, but very windy!

Cumbrian coast is being absolutely hammered by Debi. It's blowing a hoolie and chucking down with rain. It sounds like the roof of the building at work is about to fly away 😧

NW uk watching the neighbours tree getting hammered ,part of me is kind of hoping it comes down as he doesn't maintain it and it blocks all my sun after 3pm . as long as it falls into his garden :D

North Wales a hoolie which was forecast. Went into town this morning which is on a seafront. The scaffolding from the last storm around the buildings is shaking. All the road warnings of closures are on the floor.

There's a glorious amount of leaves for the children to kick

Very windy here in Dublin but nice and sunny.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what this means?

No. Me too. I was pretending i did know because nobody else questioned it 😂

Very very gusty here in the East Midlands. The poor stray cat we are trying to grab for CP has been sent flying across the garden a couple of times 😥

Because it's not a dated link it will always return any warnings for the following day. So clicking on it today doesn't give you todays warnings, even though the storm is today. It will give you any warnings that are around for tomorrow.
