Mid and north Wales faces another day of heavy winds on Tuesday with gusts of up to 70mph predicted by meteorologists.

Experts at the Met Office says that very strong south to southwesterly winds are expected to develop across parts of Wales, England and Scotland during Tuesday from 5am until 5pm.

Winds will strengthen through the morning with gusts of 50-60mph likely inland, and 60-70mph around some coasts and over higher ground.

The strongest winds will probably occur ahead of an intense band of rain that is expected to move quickly eastwards during the day, winds easing once this clears.

The latest warning comes after more than 1,300 homes were left without electricity, as gusts reached almost 80mph (129km/h) on the Llyn Peninsula in Gwynedd.

By lunchtime on Monday, engineers said supplies had been restored to most areas and it was "business as usual".

All north Wales counties, and northern parts of Powys and Ceredigion are covered by the alert.

Wind speeds on Monday hit 77mph at Aberdaron in Gwynedd and 74mph at Aberporth in Ceredigion.
