A Met Office weather warning has been issued for Wales, alerting residents of large waves and potential power cuts as strong winds are set to batter the country. The warning covers a significant portion of Wales on Sunday, September 29, with concerns over the possible consequences of the impending weather conditions. The alert specifically mentions the likelihood of strong winds causing disruption, with gusts of 50 to 55mph expected in certain areas, especially near coastal regions and western high ground.
The warning is in effect from 9am until midnight, with the Met Office forecasting that winds will intensify from west to east throughout Sunday. Heavy rain showers are also anticipated, which could result in surface water and spray on roads. However, forecasters predict that the winds will gradually ease across Wales and inland parts of southwest England by Sunday night.
Areas in Wales covered by the weather warning include Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, and Vale of Glamorgan. The advisory highlights potential impacts on coastal routes, seafronts, and communities due to spray and large waves. Transportation services such as road, rail, air, and ferry travel may experience delays, and bus and rail journeys could take longer than usual.
Individuals travelling in high-sided vehicles are advised to prepare for delays on exposed routes and bridges, with a possibility of temporary power outages.
