The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for strong winds affecting Conwy, Anglesey and Gwynedd from Monday evening until Tuesday morning.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind in three North Wales areas: Conwy, Anglesey and Gwynedd. The warning runs from 6pm on Monday 26 October until 3am on Tuesday 27 October and carries a high likelihood (50–75 per cent) with moderate impact.

South to south-westerly winds will strengthen from the west during Monday evening, with gusts reaching 45–50 mph inland and 60–65 mph along exposed coasts and over high ground. Heavy rain will accompany the strong winds. The winds are expected to ease from the west in the early hours of Tuesday before increasing again across northern parts of the UK early on Tuesday morning.

The warning follows a weekend of stormy weather from Storm Boelo and Storm Austen, the first named storm of the season. Flooding between Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog has caused train services to be cancelled in both directions. Transport for Wales stated that disruption to services is expected to last until the end of the day.
