Met Office : Tuesday sees a Yellow wind warning for Grampian

Strong winds are expected from Tuesday evening from 4pm onwards into Wednesday morning with disruption to travel and utilities possible.

A spell of strong west or southwesterly winds is likely to affect Northern Ireland, north Wales, northern England and much of Scotland from Tuesday evening.

Winds are likely to gust 50-60 mph. There is potential for winds to gusts 60-70 mph in a few places, although it is not yet clear where the most likely location for the stronger winds is at this time.

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.

When a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
