Strong south to southeasterly winds are likely to affect parts of Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland during Sunday. Gusts of 45 to 60 mph could occur quite widely, and especially around exposed coasts and over to and to the north of high ground. There is potential for gusts of around 70 mph across the Western Isles and Northern Isles. The strength of the wind is likely to exacerbate impacts from areas of heavy rain and heavy snow, for which seperate warnings are issued. 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.

A period of strong winds across the north of the UK could bring some disruption on Sunday.
