Warning
Westerly winds will strengthen through Saturday afternoon and into the evening, bringing gusts of 50-60 mph to many parts of the warning area, and locally 70 mph along exposed west facing coasts.
The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption, particularly to travel.
Forecast assessment
A deep area of low pressure will track eastwards across Ireland and southern Scotland during the course of Saturday and early Sunday, bringing a spell of windy weather to many parts of the UK.
The strongest winds are expected to affect parts of southwest England and south Wales during Saturday afternoon and evening, along with squally heavy showers. With many trees still in leaf, the forecast wind gusts are likely to lead to some trees being brought down, whilst leading to difficult driving conditions and also affecting outdoor events. Large waves and some over-topping may affect parts of the coast.
