Strong winds could cause impact on the travel network after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.

The warning is in place from 3pm today (Tuesday) until 8am on Wednesday, with forecasters predicting potential delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport; some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and large waves; some bus and train services may be affected, with some journeys taking longer; and there could be delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.

The warning is in place in West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute, as well as Central, Tayside and Fife, south west Scotland and the Lothian Borders, Strathclyde, Northern Ireland and Wales.

A Met Office forecaster said: “Southerly winds will strengthen through Tuesday afternoon, evening and night, with gales developing along some exposed coasts. Peak gusts of 40-50mph are likely fairly widely inland, with perhaps 50-60mph in more exposed places, including along some coasts.

“This may lead to some disruption to ferry crossings, with tricky travelling conditions possible on higher level and west-east routes. Winds will start to ease in Northern Ireland during the early hours of Wednesday, and then in many other areas around or after dawn.”
