The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning for several regions across the UK for Wednesday and Thursday, January 1 and 2. The forecaster said high winds would kick in from around 9am on New Year's Day. The intense winds will continue lashing the areas until Thursday 6am. The full list of areas affected includes East Midlands, East of England, London and South East England, North East England, North West England, South West England, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber.
The warning was issued on Sunday morning, December 29. A Met Office forecast said: 'A deep area of low pressure is expected to cross the UK from the west, bringing a spell of very strong winds. Gusts of 65-75 mph are likely around coasts and hills, especially in the south and west, with 50-60 mph gusts likely fairly widely inland.' What to expect There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris, the Met Office said. There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs. There is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected. There is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close. It said there was a chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage. Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties. What should you do during strong winds? Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance, the Met Office sai
