UK could face power cuts amid 'strong and gusty winds - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
""Strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power." Brits are being told to expect "some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport." "It's likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves," the Met Office added. "Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer.""
"On Monday morning winds are expected to "develop more widely inland," the Met Office added, "Gusts of 45-55 mph are expected widely inland, with gusts of 60-70 mph possible at times along exposed coasts and hills. "Winds will only slowly ease from the west later in the afternoon and into Monday evening." "People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance," "It's easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.""
A yellow weather warning covers 8pm Sunday to 6pm Monday. Strong, gusty winds will arrive across coastal southwest England and Wales Sunday evening and spread inland Monday morning. Gusts of 45–55 mph are expected widely inland, with 60–70 mph possible on exposed coasts and hills. Travel delays are likely across road, rail, air and ferry services, with some bus and train routes affected and longer journey times. Coastal routes and sea fronts may see spray and large waves. Short-term power loss and difficulties for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are possible. Winds will ease slowly from the west Monday evening. Prepare torches, batteries and phone power packs.
