Region: Highland & Eilean Siar

Southerly winds are expected to strengthen to give gusts close to or just above 60 mph later on Sunday morning onwards into the early afternoon. During the course of the afternoon winds will veer southwesterly and the strength of gusts will start to ease a little. Windy weather will be accompanied by blustery, squally showers and rain. What should I do? Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Windy, blustery conditions accompanied by frequent squally showers and rain may cause disruption.
