The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the risk of strong winds in the Anglia region on Easter Saturday.
The warning is valid from 11am on Saturday 26 March until 9pm
The Met Office is warning that there is a possibility of localised travel disruption.
A swathe of strong winds, accompanied by a band of heavy rain will move east across England and Wales during Saturday afternoon and early evening.
This is expected to bring gusts of 40-50 mph to inland areas, perhaps 60 mph across exposed coasts and hills, as well as on the passage of the cold front, when heavy rain could also produce some very localised surface water flooding.
The Met Office says: "Please be aware of the possibility of localised low levels of disruption to Easter travel plans and other holiday activities."
"An active frontal zone is expected to move east across the country through Saturday, accompanied by strong, gusty winds and one or two spells of heavy rain.
"Whilst expected wind gusts will not be unusual for March, the fact that it is Easter may lead to a few extra problems.
"Winds should ease markedly as the front clears through, particularly in the south."
This is an update to the warning issued on Friday, delaying both start and end times.
Any showers will die out, leaving a largely dry and clear evening. Remaining breezy. Highs of 12 deg C (54 deg F
Sunny spells are likely but cloud will increase at times with occasional showers. Feeling pleasantly warm in sunnier periods. Highs of 21C
After a cool first half of June in the Anglia region it is set to get hotter with the potential for a heatwave.
