Met Office weather warning for wind issued for Sussex
The full forecast from the Met Office reads: “Strong west or southwesterly winds will arrive across coastal areas of southwest England and Wales during Sunday evening, then develop more widely inland during Monday morning.
“Gusts of 45 to 55 mph are expected widely inland, with gusts of 60 to 70 mph possible at times along exposed coasts and hills.
“Winds will only slowly ease from the west later in the afternoon and into Monday evening.”
It said the winds are “likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power”, and that some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.
The Met Office advises checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, and amending travel plans if necessary to avoid delays and prepare for potential power cuts.
Staying Safe During Thunderstorms
It adds: “If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves.
“Even from the shore, large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea.
“Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
The weather warning covers the entirety of both East and West Sussex.
