Brits are set to be hit by massive 60mph winds this weekend, with maps showing exactly where will be affected by the gusts.

Today, many people will get to enjoy sunny, albeit chilly, conditions with some showers across northern and western parts of the UK. However the calm conditions will not last all weekend as Sunday will bring heavy winds of around 55mph in some places, and even reach 60mph in some exposed areas.

The potentially dangerous conditions have prompted a yellow warning for wind starting at 9am tomorrow, and lasting though to midnight. Maps show where exactly is under threat, with South West England and Wales set to bear the brunt.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said: “After a drier interlude for many on Friday, Saturday and early Sunday, attention shifts to a deep area of low pressure to the southwest which will bring rain and strong winds to parts of the UK, potentially impactful for some. A yellow warning for wind has been issued for much of Sunday across portions of southwest England and south and west Wales, where gusts could reach or even exceed 60 mph on exposed coasts, and 50-55 mph more widely.

“This system will gradually track eastwards through Sunday and into Monday and will bring another spell of wet weather fairly widely across the UK. We’re continuing to monitor the rainfall with this system, as rain falling on saturated ground in flood-hit areas has the potential to cause further impacts.”

The warning says some coastal routes and communities will be affected by spray and large waves. There are also feared delays to road, rail, air and ferries.

High-sided vehicles on exposed bridges and routes could also be impacted, while there could be a loss of power for some.

Today’s forecast reads: “A bright day for many, with sunny spells. A scattering of showers, perhaps some longer spells of rain across northwest Scotland. Feeling chilly, with temperatures a little below average for late September.”
