The UK is bracing for multiple days of windy weather in the near future as gusts are expected to reach 65mph over a period of 96 hours.
New from WXCHARTS, which uses MetDesk data, have revealed a period from January 24 until January 29.
The windy conditions are expected to begin around 6pm on the 24th and last until the early hours of the morning of the 29th.
Throughout this period, are anticipated to be Scotland, Wales, and the west of England – all seeing wind gusts between 40-65mph.
The west coast of Scotland, England, and Wales is due to get the biggest battering as the wind whips across the UK towards the east.

By January 27, most of England will have been swept by gusts as strong as 60mph from County Durham in the north to Devon in the south west.
January 29 is expected to bring as storm maps turn purple showing gusts moving as fast as 65mph.
This will be in very localised parts of Scotland, such as Edinburgh and Dumfries, and the Pennines and parts of County Durham in England.
It comes amid a bitter cold snap the UK is facing, with temperatures plummeting to as low as -18C in some places in the first two weeks of January.
As the temperature becomes milder, the new will bring harsh winds up and down the country in the weeks to come.

The long range forecast for January 18-27 reads: “High pressure will lie close to the southeast of the UK initially, with generally settled conditions across many parts.
“Cloud amounts generally be large, and a little light drizzle is likely in places, which could locally become freezing by Sunday.
“A weakening frontal system looks like it will edge east across the UK during Sunday and Monday, before high pressure briefly builds back in from the west in its wake.
“Low pressure then seems likely to increasingly influence the UK weather later in the period, with some rain or showers and windier conditions affecting most if not all parts.
“Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, especially in the north, though more frost and fog patches are likely under clearer skies and lighter winds.”
