Met Office yellow warning for windy weather in Flintshire today
The Met Office is warning of windy weather in Flintshire today, Wednesday, October 5.
A yellow weather warning came into effect at midnight for a large part of Wales, the North of England and Scotland and is in place until 11.00am.
The Met Office states said:“There is a chance of a deep low pressure system bringing gusts of 60 to 70 mph to some northern parts of England and Wales, and southern Scotland on Wednesday.”
“Should this develop disruption would be expected. However, the most likely scenario is for gusts of 50 to 60 mph, most likely areas adjacent to the northern Irish Sea, parts of southeastern Scotland and high ground within the area which may bring some localised disruption.”
“In addition, heavy rain may prove an additional hazard particularly over southwest Scotland and northwest England.”
Here is what the Met Office says we can expect:
A small chance of disruption from strong winds on Wednesday
- There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris
- There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
- There is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected
- There is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close
- There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
- There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties
