The Met Office has issued a further weather warning as we approach the weekend saying strong winds may bring disruption to travel and utilities across parts of the UK on Sunday and early Monday.
The yellow weather warning is effective from 6:00am on Sunday 21st to 6:00am on Monday 22nd January.
A Met Office spokesperson commented:
"Strong winds are expected to develop widely across the UK on Sunday. Within the warning area, many places are likely to see southwesterly winds gust to around 50-60 mph and gusts may reach 60-70 mph for exposed locations.
"There remains a chance of stronger winds impacting parts of this area for a time but this aspect remains uncertain with further updates to the warning to be expected over the coming days."
A wet and windy spell comes after the wintry conditions experienced across Northern Ireland this week.
