Met Office – Yellow Weather Warning for High Winds
Posted on : 26 Sep 2023
The Met Office has announced a Yellow weather warning for high winds from noon Wednesday to 7.00am on Thursday morning.
The strong winds will be caused by Storm Agnes and the Met Office suggests we could expect the following impacts:
- There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris
- There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
- There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
- Longer journey times are likely, or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected. Some roads and bridges are likely to close.
- There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties; with a chance of some minor flooding of coastal roads.
As always, our dedicated teams across a range of service areas will be on standby to support the community and address any issues caused by the storm as they arise.
Please take care, particularly if travelling during this period, and keep an eye of the weather forecast for the latest updates.
