A spell of strong northwesterly winds associated with Storm Benjamin are expected this morning through to mid-afternoon. Gusts of 40-45 mph are expected to fairly widely, whilst 50-55 mph is possible along some exposed coasts. Whilst winds will remain strong along the East Anglia coast into Thursday night, the likelihood of impacts will decrease. 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. 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.

Strong winds may cause some travel disruption across east and southeast England on Thursday
