A deep area of low pressure passing close to western Scotland on Tuesday may bring some very strong southwesterly winds to west and northwest Scotland on Tuesday evening and night. Peak gusts around 60 mph are possible fairly widely, and potentially in excess of 70 mph for some exposed headlands and high ground. There is a small chance of even stronger winds should the area of low pressure pass closer to western Scotland. Winds should gradually ease through Wednesday morning. What Should I Do? 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.
