Windy weather:

More heavy rain and strong winds to hit the Island

The Met Office have issued two weather warnings for the Isle of Wight over the next few days.

There’s a warning for heavy rain and strong winds from 6pm tonight (Friday) running until 3pm on Saturday.

An area of heavy rain and strong winds is expected to cross England and Wales during Friday afternoon and through Saturday. This will bring some locally large rainfall accumulations, particularly on hills, and following previous wet weather is likely to lead to some localised flooding.

Then on Monday (23rd) from 6am until night on Tuesday (24th) there’s a prediction of very strong winds and heavy rain in the region

A very deep area of low pressure will bring very strong winds and heavy rain to much of the UK from Monday morning, through to late Tuesday morning. There is the potential for widespread gales with gusts of 70 mph for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, southern and northwest England. Gusts of 80-90 mph are possible, with the greatest likelihood of these values across west Scotland.

The public should be aware of the potential for significant disruption to travel due to the very strong winds and also the risk of some flooding issues thanks to the heavy rain.
