Isle Of Wight Warning For Strong Winds Brought Forward

A Met Office weather warning - which includes the Isle of Wight - has been brought forward to this afternoon (Thursday).

The yellow weather warning for strong winds will now come into force at 3pm, instead of 6pm, and last until 9pm tomorrow.

A Met Office spokesperson said:

"An unusually deep area of low pressure for the time of year will move slowly eastwards across a central swathe of the UK during Thursday night and Friday.

"In addition to some heavy rain, this low will bring with it a spell of relatively high winds. The windiest conditions will start to affect south Wales and southwest England Thursday late afternoon and evening before spreading across southern England Thursday night and early Friday.

"Inland, gusts up to 45 to 50 mph are expected at times whilst over coasts and hills gusts will reach as much as 55 to 60 mph. These high winds then slowly ease from the west during Friday."
