Met Office storm warnings: Huge parts of UK under alert as violent 70mph winds arrive


Nearly all of Britain is covered under a new weather warnings for wind – with one meteorologist predicting violent gusts could reach up to 70mph. The nation will be poised for the next dramatic weather event to unfold on Sunday from 6am until Monday at 6am.

The Met Office added: “Strong winds are expected to develop widely across the UK on Sunday, persisting into early Monday across parts of England and Wales.

“Within the warning area, many places are likely to see southwesterly winds gust to around 50-60 mph and gusts may reach 60-70 mph for exposed locations (e.g. coasts).

“There remains a chance of stronger winds impacting parts of this area for a time but this aspect remains uncertain with further updates to the warning to be expected over the coming days.”

The brutal wind deluge will be a sign of milder temperatures, however, after the UK’s mercury jumps back up to double-digits, with 12C highs forecast on Tuesday.
