A yellow weather warning for very strong winds covers all of Northern Ireland from 18:00 on Saturday 4 April until 12:00 on Easter Sunday 5 April.

Meteorologists track a rapidly deepening low-pressure system moving northeast across the UK. Peak gusts of 50-60 mph are forecast for most inland areas. Exposed coastal spots may see gusts up to 70 mph.

The warning coincides with Saturday evening travel and the start of Easter Sunday. Winds should ease Sunday afternoon.

Officials note uncertainty in the system's intensity and shape. Residents should monitor updates.

Possible effects include delays to public transport, difficult driving for high-sided vehicles, power outages, and damage to temporary outdoor structures.
