The weather warning issued earlier in the week has been updated.
It’s now only valid for the Isle of Wight between 00.10 until 9am on Friday
Gales, severe along some coasts, and accompanied by a short spell of heavy rain, are expected to affect parts of southern England and Wales overnight and into the first part of Friday, before easing during the morning. Winds may briefly gust to 50 or 60 mph inland, most likely across southern England, and may exceed 70 mph in some exposed coastal districts in south and southeast England.
This is an update of the warning issued on Tuesday, somewhat reducing the northward limit of the impacts from the expected gales.
The public should be aware of the risk of damage to trees, disruption to travel and possibly to power supplies, as well as a lot of surface water and spray on roads.
