Yellow Weather Warning Hits London and Southeast
Strong Winds Set to Disrupt Travel
A yellow weather warning has been issued for London and parts of the Southeast as strong winds roar across the region. Gusts of 40 to 50 mph inland, with exposed coastal areas and hills seeing even stronger blasts between 50 and 70 mph, threaten to cause travel chaos.
Delays Across Roads, Railways, and Air Travel
- Road, rail, air, and ferry journeys face disruption
- Bus and train services likely to run late
- High-sided vehicles at risk on exposed routes and bridges
Power Cuts and Coastal Hazards Possible
Some areas may suffer short-term power outages. Coastal roads and communities should brace for spray and large waves slamming onto sea fronts.
Wind to Ease Overnight
The blustery southwesterly winds will slowly calm down from the west during the early hours tomorrow, but not before causing headaches for commuters today.
