‘Disruption’ is anticipated to occur throughout Friday in South Wales and southwest England due to winds that could reach 50 mph.

Thunder is also possible, particularly in the west of the UK.

Paul Gunderson, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: ‘Strong winds will develop across the South West early on Friday, pushing further north across parts of Wales through the day.

‘Gusts of 35 to 45mph are likely quite widely for a time, with gusts over 50mph affecting some coasts and hills, mainly across Cornwall and west Wales.’

Temperatures will remain on the cooler side, with highs of 20C on Friday and 21 on Saturday.

Mr Gunderson said: ‘This is an unusual time of year for such strong winds and, with many people on holiday or planning outdoor activities, they are likely to cause some disruption.

‘In addition, heavy rain could lead to standing water and spray on roads and consequently difficult driving conditions. Winds are expected to ease through the evening.’
