Warning

Strong and gusty southerly winds will develop across parts of Northern Ireland before extending into Scotland through Sunday morning. Some difficult travel conditions are expected, for instance for some roads such as the A1 in Scotland, and the A2 in Northern Ireland. As well as strong crosswinds for some routes, there is also a risk of a few trees being blown over. Gusts of wind are likely to reach 50-60 mph, locally 70 mph to the north of high ground. Winds will ease across Northern Ireland by dusk, and across the rest of the warning area by about 8pm. 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.
