A yellow warning for wind for North Wales, northern England, southern and eastern areas of Scotland comes in to force at 05:00 GMT and will stay valid until 20:00. A warning issued for Northern Ireland is valid from 06:00 to 12:00 GMT.<\/p>\n
In Scotland and Northern Ireland the strongest winds will move through during the morning. Gales will be widespread with gusts reaching 50-60mph with a few stronger gusts possible in the Hebrides for a short time. Some delays or cancellations on the Scottish ferries look possible, with passengers being advised to check on travel updates<\/a> before setting out. <\/p>\n In northern England, the north Midlands and North Wales, winds will tend to strengthen through the morning, but will not peak until the afternoon. Gusts will widely reach 50-60mph with a few gusts potentially in excess of 70mph for a short time. <\/p>\n The strongest winds will not just be around coasts and over the tops of hills, extending well to the east of the Pennines and the Cheviot Hills. <\/p>\n Some transport disruption is possible and the winds could cause problems for high-sided vehicles. Northern stretches of the M6, A68 and A1 could have some of the most challenging driving conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A yellow warning for wind for North Wales, northern England, southern and eastern areas of Scotland comes in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470902,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-470901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
