LIVE: Storm Isha tracker map - latest updates as 'danger to life' warning issued

A 'danger to life' warning has been issued - covering huge swathes of the UK - ahead of the arrival of Storm Isha. Strong winds have prompted the Met Office to issue a yellow weather warning for the county, starting at midday on Sunday, January 21 and ending at midday on Monday, January 22.
