🌬️ Hold onto your hats, folks! This weekend, Wales is bracing for some seriously strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 80mph! The Met Office has issued a Yellow wind alert kicking in at 9pm on Sunday, September 14, lasting for a stormy 10 hours until 7pm on Monday. 🌪️
Here’s the scoop: regions across Wales, along with parts of London, the South East, North West, and South West England, are in for a windy rollercoaster. Those living in coastal and hilly areas should be prepared for the strongest gusts on Monday morning.
📍 Affected Welsh areas include Cardiff, Swansea, Pembrokeshire, and many others. Parts of South West England like Devon and Cornwall will also feel the breeze, along with the South East’s Sussex and Kent.
Expect travel delays on roads, rail, air, and even ferries. Take note of potential damage risks, such as loose roof tiles and flying debris, which can pose a risk to safety. 🌧️
While the winds are intense, forecasters aren’t expecting this to be a named storm. Saturday might see heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms. If you’re in the east, you might find some sunshine, but temperatures will keep on the cooler side with highs around 17-18°C.
Stay safe, keep an eye on the forecast, and perhaps postpone that picnic till things calm down! 💨🌧️ #WalesWeather #StormAlert #StaySafe
