What to expect from the Met Office issued weather warning in South Wales
The Met Office said the yellow weather warning will be in place across south Wales on Friday due to strong winds which are likely to cause disruptions.
The weather warning issued by the Met Office said to expect:
- Possible delays to rail, air and ferry transport due to strong winds
- Some damage to trees or temporary structures such as marquees, tents & inflatables, could occur
- Standing water and spray on roads leading to difficult driving conditions
A Met Office spokesperson added: "Strong winds will develop across southwest England early on Friday, extending northwards through the day to affect parts of Wales.
"Gusts of 35 to 45 mph are likely quite widely for a time, with gusts over 50 mph affecting some coasts and hills, mainly across Cornwall and west Wales.
"This is likely to lead to difficult driving conditions and some disruption given the unusual time of year for such winds.
"In addition, heavy rain will lead to standing water and spray on roads. Winds are expected to ease through the evening."
