THE Met Office has released yellow weather warnings for strong 50mph winds and heavy rain this weekend.
The first warning is in place for parts of Cornwall and southwest Wales between 13:00 and 19:00 tomorrow, and so is expected that the conditions will cause disruption to travel and road.
The Met Office have said: “A spell of wet and windy weather with coastal gales and heavy rain will develop during Saturday afternoon.
“Gusts in coastal areas are likely to reach 50-55 mph and perhaps as high as 60 mph in the most exposed parts of Cornwall and southwest Wales.
“Inland, gusts will tend to peak at 45-50 mph away from hills and mountains. Wind will then ease a little during the evening.”
Meanwhile, Met Office has also predicted record temperatures amid ’28C heatwave’ in April.
Weather forecaster Jim Dale told the Express that the UK can expect hot weather to arrive “fairly early” this year.
He said he “wouldn’t be surprised to see 26C, 27C, 28C in the middle of April.”
