If the current strong winds and heavy rain weren’t enough to cross-Solent travellers to contend with, the Met Office have now issued a yellow (Be Alert) warning for the end of the week.
All day Friday (27th) the following is forecast,
Another spell of stormy weather is expected to affect many areas, winds increasing later on Boxing Day but likely to peak during Friday. Gusts of 70-80 mph are possible especially in exposed parts of the west and south. Spells of heavy rain can also be expected, including areas that remain saturated from rainfall earlier in the week.
The public should be aware of the potential for disruption, especially where the high winds are combined with heavy rainfall. Please watch for updates to this warning over the coming days, especially those who have travel plans.
