The weather warning comes into force from 9am Sunday
A yellow weather warning for strong winds across parts of the UK has been issued after days of heavy downpours.
The alert has been issued for the south west of England and Wales and comes into play at 9am on Sunday, and will effect the area until midnight. The Met Office said: “Winds will strengthen from west to east during Sunday, with gusts of 50-55 mph likely in places, especially near coasts and over/to the west of high ground, perhaps exceeding 60 mph in the most exposed areas.
“This will be accompanied by outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, which could lead to some surface water and spray. Winds will gradually ease across Wales and inland parts of southwest England through Sunday evening and night, but it may remain fairly windy along some coasts of southern and southwestern England during Sunday night.”
