Strong southwesterly winds, associated with Storm Bram, will continue through Wednesday with some strong gusts possible at times, especially near heavy showers. Peak gusts of 45-55 mph are likely fairly widely, and perhaps up to 65 mph along more exposed coasts and hills. Winds will gradually ease in all areas through Wednesday evening. 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.
