📣 Heads up, folks! Storm Dave is headed our way this Easter weekend, bringing some wild weather to parts of Wales. 🌪️
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning with strong winds expected from Saturday evening into Sunday. Areas like Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and the Isle of Anglesey are on alert, with gusts reaching 50 to 70mph, and even up to 80-90mph in the most exposed spots. 😲
Expect potential travel disruptions across roads, railways, air, and ferry services. Road and bridge closures in exposed areas could also occur. Plan ahead if you’re hitting the road! 🛣️
There’s a slight risk of power cuts too, which might impact mobile coverage, and some structural damage could happen (think loose roof tiles). Coastal zones should prepare for large waves and the possibility of flying debris. 🌊
Deputy Chief Forecaster Tom Crabtree advises everyone to secure outdoor items and keep an eye on the forecast as conditions evolve. Make sure to have a plan in place for any short-term power outages. ⚡
