22-Hour Yellow Wind Warning in Force for England and Wales as Atlantic Rain Band Sweeps In

Forecasters flag likely travel disruption, brief power outages, coastal hazards during the strongest gusts on Monday morning.

Overview

  • The Met Office warning runs from 8pm Sunday to 6pm Monday, covering most of England and all of Wales.
  • Gusts of 45–55 mph are expected widely inland, with 60–70 mph possible on exposed coasts and hills, peaking in west Wales and north‑west England on Monday morning.
  • A large band of heavy rain is moving in from the Atlantic, leaving many areas wet on Sunday before blustery showers continue through Monday.
  • Local forecasts point to late‑morning peaks near 50 mph in cities including London and Nottingham, with winds gradually easing later on Monday.
  • The system is not being named by the Met Office; the public is urged to secure loose items, check travel updates and keep clear of large waves on exposed coasts.
