Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 10:37 · Archive

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for coastal western Wales with gusts expected to reach 65mph.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for coastal areas of western Wales, including Aberystwyth, Tywyn and Barmouth. The warning comes into force at 6pm and is expected to last until 3am on Tuesday. Gusts of 45-50 mph are predicted inland, with 60-65 mph along exposed coasts and over high ground, according to the Met Office.

The strong winds will be accompanied by heavy rain at times. The weather warning follows poor conditions in recent days, as Wales has been hit by Storm Austen and Storm Boelo over the past three days. Winds are expected to ease from the west during the early hours before increasing again across northern parts of the UK on Tuesday morning.

The Met Office has advised people in affected coastal areas to take precautions. A spokesperson said that those on the coast should be aware of large waves, as 'even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea'. They recommended taking care near cliffs and keeping dogs on a lead.
