There’s a windy and wet weekend in store for Lytham St Anne’s as a low-pressure system, which has been named Storm Malik by the Danish Meteorological Institute, bringing high winds and wet weather.

The Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, Paul Gundersen, said, ‘The impacts of Storm Malik are going to be greatest in Denmark on Sunday (30th January) , 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 (29th January). 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.

Storm Malik starts what will be an unsettled week of weather for the UK, as another low-pressure system moves across Northern areas on Sunday. This will bring a further spell of very strong winds.’
