80mph winds expected on Monday say Met Office

The Met Office have increased their Yellow warning for high winds on Monday to Amber.

That means we could be looking at winds of 80mph. The warning, which is valid from 3am to 6pm, reads,

An area of very strong winds is likely to extend east across southwest England and parts of central southern England on Monday morning.

Gusts of 60-70 mph are likely widely, with 80 mph gusts in exposed coastal areas, particularly Cornwall and North Devon. Some very large waves are also likely to affect many coasts, in particular north coasts of Cornwall and Devon.

Winds should gradually ease through the afternoon and evening.

Please be prepared for disruption to travel as well as possible damage to trees and structures and interruption of power supplies.
