Storm Isha is set to batter “everybody” in the UK with wind and rain during a “rare” weather cycle, forecasters say.
Winds of up to 80mph will swoop in on Sunday, potentially causing power cuts and loss of mobile phone signal, while roads and bridges are likely to be shut and transport services could face delays and cancellations in some areas.

Everyone… Not even my wheelbin has fallen over yet
Arrant nonsense
Growing up I remember 4 distinct seasons. Now we have perpetual autumn. It feels like it's done nothing but rain for at least 2 years. Really getting fed up with it now. People saying "it's winter, big deal" forget that winter is meant to be cold and snow.
No one cares about a bit of weather it’s lucky brits have never been in a Typhoon!
Wind and rain how weird and to predict power cuts is truly amazing are you god 😂😂😂
"gLoBaL wArMiNg"
To me this is winter.
Scotland is perfectly, fine.
Weather manipulation maybe?
EVERYBODY 😂😂😂😂
It’s definitely affected my day .. I can’t dry my dog bed
People see 'weather'. They don't see, 'the climate'. Hence Youtube full of stupid comments.
Here on the Surrey Hills – an area of outstanding beauty, the trees are swaying gently playing a melody of white noise as they suck in C02. Birds are happy eating on the feeder, dear on the lawn nibbling at the grass. But thanks for the warning, what happened to all the snow by the way.
This oldie has woken up to WEATHER , every day of my 67 yrs .
Often had a brolly blown inside out , but never felt the need to WARN anyone else that the
WIND WAS BLOWING !!!!
What’s the rare event?
Yet ANOTHER attempt at scaremongering by the government. It's WINTER, it gets wet, windy and cold every year. Give it a rest.
Weather hype again. Its a fine day today, partly sunny with light breeze and scattered showers. From joe public in England
The laws of probability tell us that one day, when no one believes a word they utter, they'll be lucky and get it right.
Then they'll have the gall to say, "I told you so."
If you cry "wolf" for long enough …
…and it’s because it’s winter everyone, nothing to do with climate change ☃️ ☔️ ❄️
“Batter” everybody 🙄🤣🤣🤣
First we had to panic because of the snow which we didn’t get any of now we must panic because of wind and rain together, oh my god we are doomed, doomed. 🙄
😂 they don't get that each time they try this, we get more and more desensitised to the fear campaign. Are they that thick?
On every one of these videos the comments are just people slagging them off. There used to be a bit of a split of the gullible trying to express why we should all be scared, with the red pilled who could just see through it, now its just people taking the p!$$. The media is losing the game.
Normally don't jump on the scaremongering bs wagon as global warming is 100% real lmao, but are you guys serious? We've had just average wind and rain since September, and you've managed to give 11 bouts of wind and rain a storm name? Get a grip, before we start naming sun rises and sun sets too for the love of God.
Loss of mobile phone connectivity? ARRGGGFHHHHHHHHH
I notice they never mention Easterly Regions or East Anglia. Which, by the way, is calm and quite nice for January. 😊
Trillions have been taken out of our taxes, but the climate is getting worse. It's because the theory of anthropogenic factor is wrong. The real reason is completely different and it's related to the cosmic cycle of 12,000 years.
We, as humanity, have very little time left to stop the further progression of catastrophes. If we don't take action, our usual comfortable life will end already in the next few years.
Figure out what is happening to our planet and what we can do to survive: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" Creative Society
Watch this one tree will fall and every junolist will flock there and say how the whole uk was batter by the storm. I'm in Edinburgh and it's still calm here what a hoax
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the world governments are clamping down on fake news and Misinformation 👀
Nature wages war on the war mongers!
I wonder how much old footage they are using? People are easily fooled these days.
'Loss of mobile phone signal…' Oh no!! This is really serious.
Country will be doomed when the liebour party get power more sadik khan ulez spy cameras everywhere
Bro wind is beating against my window and i cant sleep
That title storm is to assault everyone
I’m 60 and been in uk all of my life. The weather has been a lot worse during my lifetime, believe me it’s not cataclysmic right now. My home town is built mostly on a flood plain and he’s always flooded for miles either side of the town. The main difference now is that many of those areas are now built on with both housing and businesses. Any flood defences constructed just move the problem somewhere else and the same is happening all over the country. The winds, rain and temperatures were just as volatile in the past , if not worse.
Ooooh… Let's all wet ourselves
You went from 'rare cyclone ' in the title to only 'cycle' in the video.
We live on a boat and I can assure you that although we were swaying about a lot more than usual and the fenders were banging about, it certainly wasn't anything to mark down on a history book.
You, and all other media outlets, must be exhausted with your constant and shameless fear mongering.
You're all the devil!
Where do they get these names from ?
October 1987 was a real storm. This was just a stiff breeze!!
Stop giving them ethnic names. I want a Nordic or Anglo name. This isn't whatever stan
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. They used to call it weather, now they call it news.
Wind and rain is not rare. Now stop with the alarmism. There is NO "climate crisis".
How do i know this? Because im fourty fackin two and have seen it all before. The ice caps and hole in the ozone layre should have killed me by now……
A plastic plant pot was blown over last night at the height of the so-called storm here in South Lancashire
