STORM Freya is on its way, and will bring with it very strong wind, as well as rain.

The Met Office has issued a weather warning for the entirety of Wales, as well as much of England, from 3pm tomorrow, Sunday, until 6am on Monday morning, warning of strong winds, travel disruption and “possible dangerous conditions”.

The warning on the Met Office website warns winds could reach speeds of 65mph, or 80mph in coastal areas, while injuries or danger to life due to flying debris “are possible”, while tiles could be blown from roofs and branches from trees.

Some roads and bridges may also be forced to close, while public transport could also be affected, with longer journey times and some cancellations possible.

There are also warnings of possible power cuts or outages to services such as mobile phone coverage, while those living in coastal areas are being warned of “large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties”.

Gwent is also forecast rain throughout most of Sunday.

Speaking yesterday, Friday, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Jason Kell, said: “Storm Freya undergoes rapid cyclogenesis late Saturday and early Sunday as it moves across the eastern Atlantic Ocean towards the British Isles, this means the area of low pressure will deepen quickly as it moves towards us.

“This is a developing situation and the track of Freya’s strongest winds could change over the next few days, so we are advising people to keep an eye on the latest forecast and warnings from the Met Office.”

But the storm should pass early next week.

Mr Kelly said: “As Storm Freya moves into the North Sea on Monday so too will the strongest winds.

“The rest of the week will be largely unsettled with further spells of wet and windy weather, but some fair weather and sunshine in places too.”
