A YELLOW weather warning has been issued as strong winds are expected to bring “hazardous conditions” to Wirral’s coast.
Forecasters have warned that strong winds may bring hazardous coastal conditions and could cause some travel disruption.
The warning comes into force at 1am tomorrow (Tuesday, April 9) and will remain in place until 3pm.
It is likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.
It is also possible that there will be some short term loss of power and other services.
Metrologists have also said to expet some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “A spell of strong winds blowing from the northwest will affect this region on Tuesday. Initially arriving across Southwest Wales, in the early hours of Tuesday, and reaching North Wales and Northwest England during Tuesday morning.
“Gusts will reach 40-50 mph widely, with 60 or 65 mph gusts expected for exposed coasts of Southwest and West Wales overnight.
“Winds will likely ease (although still remaining breezy) across Southwest and West Wales before dawn on Tuesday.”
