Yellow Wind Warning issued for United Kingdom - Highlands & Eilean Siar | Orkney & Shetland

Effective: Wed December 18, 2024, 11:05 AM
Expires: Sat December 21, 2024, 11:59 PM

Information on update: Warning area adjusted slightly northwards. Very strong westerly winds are expected to develop through the course of Saturday in association with a deep area of low pressure, with gusts of 65-75 mph expected. There is a small chance that gusts in excess of 80 mph could occur across this region. Dangerous coastal conditions can be expected too, with large waves an additional hazard, especially in respect to causeways. A busier than usual travel period in the run up to Christmas is also a factor which may result in an increased chance of impacts. What should I do? Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus 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.
