A brief (in any one location) spell of very strong winds is possible overnight Sunday into Monday, moving northeastwards across parts of the highlighted region. Gusts of 55-65 mph are possible, should this spell develop, with a very small chance of localised gusts of up to 80 mph, particularly near coasts. Confidence remains very low with regards to the track of this development, if it occurs. The strongest winds will probably only affect a narrow swathe somewhere within the broader warning area. 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 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.

Information on update: Warning area altered to remove parts of Wales, covered by a separate warning continuing throughout Monday. Warning expanded to include Isle of Wight, and further northeast to cater for a potential heavier spell of rain overnight Sunday into Monday, although this carries lower confidence. A period of heavy rain is likely to affect central and southern England and much of Wales during Sunday morning followed by some heavy, thundery showers. Quite widely, 10-20 mm will fall, with locally nearer 30-50 mm over high ground, particularly over exposed south or southeast-facing upslopes. It's then likely that a further spell of heavy rain may develop and affect parts of England and Wales on Sunday evening, clearing early Monday and should this be the case a few places may see as much as 80 mm of rain in total. Given recent heavy rain, this extra rainfall could lead to some local surface water and river flooding. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. 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.
