A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office advising of strong winds on Tuesday afternoon, evening and night which may cause a few impacts to travel in Northern Ireland.
The weather warning for winds, impacting the eastern parts of the province, is active from 3:00pm today, Tuesday 17 December, to 8:00am on Wednesday morning.
A spokesperson for the Met Office commented:
“Southerly winds will strengthen through Tuesday afternoon, evening and night, with gales developing along some exposed coasts. Peak gusts of 40-50 mph are likely fairly widely inland, with perhaps 50-60 mph in more exposed places, including along some coasts.
“This may lead to some disruption to ferry crossings, with tricky travelling conditions possible on higher level and west-east routes.
“Winds will start to ease in Northern Ireland during the early hours of Wednesday, and then in many other areas around or after dawn.”
