The area covered by a Met Office yellow weather warning

The Met Office has issued an early warning of the risk of strong winds on Tuesday as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo affect the UK.

The yellow weather warning was updated at 10am on Monday 20 October 2014 and has now been extended further south to cover all of Wales. The Met Office is also warning of a slight increase in wind speeds in this latest warning.

The warning is valid from 00.10am until 6pm on Tuesday 21 October 2014.

The Met Office warning says: "Gales, and more locally severe gales, are expected to affect much of the country on Tuesday.

"Whilst Monday night will see wet and windy conditions sweeping eastwards, the strongest winds are expected to occur after the rain clears and winds veer northwesterly through Tuesday morning.

Gusts exceeding 55 mph are likely inland, with 60 to 70 mph gusts in some exposed coastal areas in the west and possibly to around 80 mph around coasts in northern Scotland."
