'Unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain' are making driving conditions hazardous in parts of the UK 🌧️
'Unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain' are making Friday morning's rush hour hazardous for drivers in parts of the UK.
Britons are being urged not to travel today in some parts amid fears of flooding and trees being toppled by the intense gales. A Met Office spokesman said:"There is some fairly heavy rain and thunderstorms from Bristol, up through Wales and into Northern Ireland. That will transfer eastwards over the next few hours, causing poor driving conditions in places."Westerly regions were expected to be hit first as the Met Office issued a yellow wind warning set to begin this afternoon. It covers West Wales, Devon and Cornwall, but also stretches to parts of the Channel coast.
Neil Armstrong, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said:"This low-pressure system will bring challenging conditions, including unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain, from the west during Friday and Saturday.
