Met Office issues weather alert for strong winds in Flintshire this week

The Met Office has issued a weather alert for strong winds in Flintshire this week.

The yellow alert, which covers all of Wales and a large swath of England. comes into force from 9pm on Wednesday through to 3pm on Thursday.

The Met Office states: “Strong winds accompanied by heavy and blustery showers may bring some disruption to England and Wales.”

“Strong and gusty winds are likely to develop on Wednesday evening and continue into Thursday across England and Wales.

“Gusts of 50-55 mph are possible inland, especially close to showers.”

“Gusts may reach 60-70 mph on coasts and hills, especially in the west, before gradually easing on Thursday afternoon.”

Well March didn't come in like a lion, but it certainly won't be holding back next week.

Winds are due to ramp up from Wednesday night and into Thursday, with the potential for some pretty nasty and damaging winds out of this system… pic.twitter.com/iizkEPC9TX
