This includes:
- Some delays to road, rail, and ferry transport are likely.
- Delays or restrictions for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely.
- It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.
- Some damage to infrastructure and trees/branches is possible, especially where made more vulnerable by Storm Eunice.
- Power outages are possible, and efforts to restore power to areas which have had interrupted supply in the wake of Storm Eunice are likely to be hampered.
Gusts of 55-60 mph are expected widely around south and west facing coasts, some of which may be more vulnerable than usual in the aftermath of Storm Eunice. Blustery showers will follow with further gusts of 60-70 mph mainly confined to coastal areas during Sunday evening.
The yellow wind warning covers much of the UK, including Hampshire.
