THE weekend looks set to be a blustery one as forecasters issue a yellow warning for ‘very windy weather’ on Saturday.

The yellow warning covers all of Wales and much of the British Isles with gusts of up to 80mph possible in some areas.

The warning runs from midnight on Saturday until 6pm with the Met Office saying the winds have the potential to cause damage to buildings and cause power cuts.

The Met Office says: “The strongest winds will arrive across northern Scotland during Friday afternoon, before becoming more widespread overnight and into Saturday morning.

“Winds will tend to slowly ease from the north during the afternoon.

“The location and strength of the very strongest winds remains uncertain.

“However, gusts seem likely to reach 50 to 60 mph widely, with 70 to 80 mph possible in coastal locations, particularly in parts of Scotland and north-east England.”
