It looks like we're in for some strong winds in the next couple of days. The Met Office has just released two yellow weather warnings, following the destruction left behind by Storm Darragh. It's been a tough month for many communities, and unfortunately, it's not over yet.
The first warning is for winds reaching over 60mph, expected to hit northern England and parts of southern Scotland on Wednesday. This warning will be in place from 3am to 2pm. At the same time, another warning for wind is in effect for the Welsh coast, coastal Northern Ireland, and southern Scotland. This one started on Tuesday at 3pm and will continue until Wednesday at 8pm. The Met Office has stated that we can expect southerly winds to strengthen, bringing gusts of 40-50mph inland and possibly up to 60mph in more exposed areas.
With these strong winds, we can expect some delays in transportation, including road, rail, air, and ferry services. The waves along the coast may also be quite large, so it's important to take extra caution if you're planning to be near the water. These warnings come at a time when many are still recovering from the impact of Storm Darragh, which hit earlier this month. The fourth named storm of the season caused extensive damage, leaving millions advised to stay indoors, power outages, and cancelled trains.
Unfortunately, the storm also resulted in two fatalities. Two men lost their lives when trees fell on their vehicles, and former England rugby player Tom Voyce tragically passed away during the flooding caused by Darragh. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers that come with severe weather.
