Weather Warning For 70mph Winds Issued For Wrexham

A weather warning for gusts up to 70mph has been issued for the next 24 hours.

Across Wales a ‘yellow’ weather warning for strong wind and rain has been issued, with Wrexham expected to be battered by gusts of up to 50/60mph – however this could reach 70mph in isolated regions.

The weather warning is in place from 7pm this evening through until 7pm tomorrow.

A statement released by the Met Office says: “Westerly winds will become strong across many parts of Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, England and Wales during Monday evening and night, with gusts of 50-60 mph and isolated gusts of 65-70 mph in exposed locations. The wind will become northwesterly by Tuesday morning, and although easing for a time, it will become very gusty through the day, particularly near showers.”

“The public should be aware of the risk of localised damage from these winds and for minor disruption to travel.”

We tweeted earlier about the band of rain that has been overhead for most of the day and due to clear up this evening:
