8th Jan 2020 | Local News

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings in Penarth and across Wales for Thursday the 9th of June.

Penarth may see gusts of up to 35 MPH as part of the coastal gale forecast across Wales.

Very strong winds are predicted and there is the potential that this will cause disruption.

What to expect:

• There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris

• There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs

• There is a small chance of longer journey times or cancellations as road, rail, air and ferry services are affected

• There is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close

• There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage

• There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties

Traffic Wales have issued safety announcements for those planning to travel tomorrow.

They have outlined the following tips for driving in high winds:

• Remember to keep both hands on the wheel
  • Keep your speed down
• Be ready for stronger winds and gusts on exposed stretches of road or when passing high sided vehicles.
  • Take care and leave extra room around cyclists and motorcyclists.
• Keep your distance from other vehicles, especially high sided vehicles and caravans.
  • Plan your journey carefully, checking weather and traffic bulletins regularly
• Expect lower speed limits or temporary closures of exposed bridges - especially for high sided vehicles - and road closures due to fallen debris or accidents.
