A period of strong and gusty southwesterly winds is likely to affect southern parts of England and Wales through Monday and at first on Tuesday. Gusts to 60 or 70 mph are possible near the coast, with gusts of 50mph possible inland. Winds will gradually ease from the west on Tuesday morning. 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.

Spells of heavy rain are likely to affect parts of Wales during Sunday, followed by further showers or longer spells of rain during Monday. In addition, a separate area of quite heavy rain may also move through during the overnight period, though confidence in the extent of this remains low. During this period, 20-40 mm of rainfall is likely to accumulate fairly widely, with isolated totals of mostly likely 50-70 mm over high ground.
