DS: Risk Warning; Weather

By
Hello all,

Yellow wind warnings are issued by the Met office for tomorrow evening into Thursday morning to take account of. More below. You will recall our advice on keeping an eye on trees in case they are damaged or become insecure, battening down/bringing in all possible, the possible impact on travel, especially on bridges and high ground, potential for flying debris, power supply interruption, etc.

Regional Forecast for South West England

Wednesday:
Cold, with strong winds easing and wintry showers steadily reducing and largely turning back to rain. However, it will become windy again later, with heavy rain arriving overnight. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Stormy early on Thursday, with rain, hill snow and severe gales. Thereafter, a return to sunshine and wintry showers. Drier and sunnier on Saturday.

Between 21:00 Wed 17th and 13:00 Thu 18th

Very strong winds will affect parts of the UK during Wednesday night and into Thursday. The strongest winds are expected to transfer eastwards across the warning area before clearing by early afternoon. Road, rail and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations. There is also a possibility that some bridges may close. Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage. Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible, along with some damage to buildings. In addition, large waves are expected to affect some western coasts with beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
