Accompanying the high winds will be high waves, and areas of the north and particularly along the coast are being warned of storm waves as high as 60 feet battering the coast. The Coast of Northern Ireland and Scotland will bear the brunt of this waves overnight tonight and into Thursday as the icy winter winds pick up.

The storm warning comes as the Met Office warned of unsettled weather right up to Christmas, with periods of rain and strong winds along with overnight frosts.

Predictions are that the rest of December, right through into the start of 2015 will most likely stay unsettled and often windy.
