A YELLOW weather warning has been issued for Wirral as Storm Jocelyn is set to hit.

The Met Office has issued the region with a “danger to life” warning as strong winds are expected leading to possible disruption to travel and utilities.

The warning comes into place from tomorrow (Tuesday, January 23) and is in force until Wednesday, January 24.

Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible

Some roads and bridges may close, often blocked by fallen trees and other debris.

Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage

Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen

Any remaining recovery efforts off the back of Storm Isha are likely to be hampered.

here is a chance of injuries and danger to life from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “A spell of strengthening west or southwesterly winds is expected to affect Northern Ireland, north Wales, northern England and Scotland from Tuesday evening, associated with Storm Jocelyn.

“Winds are widely expected to gust to 55-65 mph, with a few exposed locations possibly seeing in excess of 70 mph, although the greatest likelihood of these is now highlighted with an Amber warning.

“Gusts of 55-65mph are fairly typical for a winter storm across these areas, but following the impacts caused by Storm Isha resilience is expected to be lower and it may also hamper any ongoing recovery and repair efforts.”
