The Met Office have issued a ‘Be Alert’ yellow weather warning for wind for the Isle of Wight next week.
Valid from 9am until midnight on Tuesday (7th Dec), the warning reads:
A deep area of low pressure moving in across the UK from the Atlantic is likely to bring high winds to many parts of the UK.
Strong winds arriving into the west through the morning, spreading inland and reaching eastern areas through the afternoon and early evening.
Gusts of 45-50 mph are expected widely, with 60-70 mph in exposed coastal locations.
Strongest winds will ease across inland areas into the overnight period.
What to expect
- Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely
- Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
- Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
- Some short term loss of power and other services is possible
- It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
