The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind across the region on Thursday.
The warning states:
‘A deepening area of low pressure is expected to cross southeast Britain on Thursday, clearing into the North Sea by Thursday evening.
‘Winds will pick up in association with the low, and as it clears from the east coast, very strong northwesterly winds are likely to develop. Gusts of wind of 45-55 mph can be expected widely, with 65 mph possible near coasts.
‘There is a smaller chance, should the low be deeper, that wind gusts of 65-75 mph may develop for a time very locally, this most likely late morning and into the afternoon.’
