US EditionYellow weather warning for wind still in place on Monday says Met Office
Strong winds caused about 150 power outages and some venue closures, but overall disruption remained limited with only minor road blockages reported, officials said.
- On Monday, the Met Office said a yellow wind warning remains in force since 20:00 BST on Sunday until 18:00, urging care as strong winds affect Devon and Cornwall.
- Driven by a deep area of low pressure, forecasters say gusts up to 70mph will affect coastal parts of South West England and Wales on Monday morning.
- Local authorities reported closures and outages after Dartmoor Zoo and St Michael's Mount shut as a precaution, about 150 properties lost power near Chagford, and fallen trees partially blocked the A375 between Honiton and Sidmouth.
- Authorities warned travellers to take care throughout Monday, particularly when travelling, while Devon County Council Highways monitors exposed spots like Taw Bridge in Barnstaple.
- Tuesday brings a brief improvement with drier, lighter winds before outbreaks overnight into Wednesday; wet ground from recent weeks and high tides at Perranporth and Croyde raise flood risks.
