PEOPLE across North Wales are being urged to prepare for Storm Debi, which could bring “very strong and disruptive winds” tomorrow (November 13).
A yellow Met Office wind warning has been issued to Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey for tomorrow, from 4am until 6pm.
The storm Debi is expected to develop and move across Ireland and northern England on Monday.
While there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth, there is a chance of “very strong westerly winds” developing along the Irish Sea coasts of Wales and northwest England on Monday morning, before extending inland during day, slowly easing later.
There is a chance of 60-65mph gusts developing inland, and 70-80mph by coasts.
What to expect:
- Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible.
- Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen.
- Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.
- Some roads and bridges may close.
- Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
- Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
