Batten down the hatches. The Met Office has issued a weather warning for strong winds for the Isle of Wight (and South Coast of England).
Valid from 1am on Tuesday to midday, the warning reads:
An area of low pressure is expected to track across the far south and southeast of the UK from the southwest on Tuesday morning.
To the south and east of the low centre some unseasonably strong winds are expected, particularly around some coasts and hills.
Here gusts may reach 40-50 mph which may lead to damage to temporary structures and transport disruption.
The strong winds will be accompanied by some heavy showers or rain for a time, before gradually moving northeastwards and easing from the southwest through Tuesday daytime.
What to expect
- Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely
- Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
- Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
- Some damage to temporary outdoor structures possible
- It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
