Where the worst weather will hit Wales as warning issued
The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning as a spell of strong winds is expected to cause potential disruption. The weather warning for Wales was extended to Tuesday evening and remains in place on Wednesday. It is expected that there could be delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport, with some bus and train services likely to be affected.
Delays for high-sided vehicles are also likely and some short term loss of power and other services is possible, the Met Office says. An updated warning read: “A developing area of low pressure moving north through the Irish Sea will bring a spell of strong winds accompanied by some heavy rain to parts of Wales, northwest England and southwest Scotland this evening. Gusts of 45-55 mph are expected inland and 60-65 mph around some coastal areas.
