A weather warning for wet and windy conditions has been extended to cover all of West Wales.

The Met Office has expanded the area covered by a yellow weather warning they issued on Wednesday to include all of the west coast of Wales, with winds of up to 60mph possible along coasts and on high ground.

The warning comes into effect from 3pm today (Thursday) and runs until 9pm on Friday.

The Met Office says: “Windy weather may lead to some travel disruption and, perhaps, damage to temporary outdoor structures.

“An unusually deep area of low pressure for the time of year will move slowly eastwards across a central swathe of the UK during Thursday night and Friday.

“In addition to some heavy rain, this low will bring with it a spell of relatively high winds. The windiest conditions will start to affect south Wales and southwest England Thursday late afternoon and evening before spreading across southern England Thursday night and early Friday.

“Inland, gusts up to 45 to 50 mph are expected at times whilst over coasts and hills gusts will reach as much as 55 to 60mph. These high winds then slowly ease from the west during Friday.”

They warn that some transport links may experience delays as a result of the unseasonal weather and large waves are possible along the coast.
