The Met Office weather warning for strong winds affecting the Isle of Wight on Wednesday has been adjusted once again.
The warning is now valid from 6am to 8pm on Wednesday 12th April 2023. It reads:
West or northwest winds are expected to increase during Wednesday morning, then remain strong for much of the day. Gusts of 40-50 mph are expected widely within the warning area, but some coastal areas, especially in parts of south and west Wales and Cornwall, could see gusts above 60-70 mph during Wednesday morning. Outbreaks of heavy rain or showers will accompany the strong winds.
A swathe of strong winds potentially bringing some disruption on Wednesday.
