weather office yellow is released Season mass warning UK For strong winds and strong winds Rain,
Forecasters warn that eastern parts of england ready to be affected by the gusts of winds up to 75 mph on Thursday, which could cause power outages and create a “life-threatening” threat from large waves and beach material thrown onto beaches, coastal roads and properties.
weather office warned: “Winds of 45 to 55 mph can be expected widely, with gusts up to 65 mph near the coasts. There is a lesser chance that locally gusts of 65 to 75 mph could occur for a short time, most likely in the late morning and afternoon.”
To avoid injury or property damage caused by flying debris, the Met Office suggests checking for loose objects such as outdoor rubbish bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds and fences.
The yellow warning for wind extends from midnight to 9pm across Brighton, London, Oxfordshire and Norwich to Hull and York.
A separate weather warning has also been issued by the Met Office for winds of up to 60mph for Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and parts of west Wales, including Swansea, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey, between 4am and 6pm on Thursday.
The Met Office has warned that heavy rain is also expected in the south and east of England and parts of south Wales, which could lead to flooding of homes and businesses.
Forecasters said up to 50mm of rain could fall in some areas on Thursday morning, particularly in the south-west.
The Met Office said, “There is a very small chance that some locations may exceed this, most likely in North Devon and Cornwall and generally to the east of the highlighted area.”
“Conditions are expected to change, initially on the southern and eastern coasts, but with the possibility of gales more widely across southern Britain during the day on Thursday.”
Yellow weather warnings for heavy rain cover Cornwall and Devon in the south west, south Wales including Swansea and Cardiff, large parts of the Midlands, the north east including Darlington and the south east as far as Kent.
If road, rail, air and ferry services are affected, strong winds and rain may cause travel disruptions, such as longer travel times or cancellations.
It comes as Storm Amy caused widespread disruption across Britain and Ireland earlier this month, leaving thousands of homes without power and parks, railway lines and ferry routes closed due to winds gusting up to 100mph in some parts of the country.
