Yellow weather warning issued for winds of up to 80mph over weekend
The Met Office warns of potential transport delays, property damage, and power cuts as Storm Amy brings gusts up to 80mph across Wales on Monday morning.
- The Met Office has announced a yellow warning due to strong winds reaching up to 80mph, affecting much of the UK—including Wales and southern England—from 8pm on Sunday, September 14, until 6pm on Monday.
- A strengthening low-pressure system over the North Atlantic is driving an extended period of windy and rainy conditions expected to continue through Sunday night and into Monday.
- Forecasters predict strong gusts reaching up to 60mph in coastal and hilly areas, with speeds between 70 and 80mph likely in the most vulnerable spots, accompanied by heavy rain, hail, and thunderstorms, particularly across western regions.
- Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist, said, "A named storm is unlikely," while advising people to secure loose items like bins, sheds, and garden furniture to protect property.
- The warning signals likely transport delays, possible power cuts, a small chance of injuries from flying debris, and urges the public to stay updated and prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
