STRONG winds and disruption to travel are likely throughout Sunday as Storm Ciara heads towards Devon, the Met Office warns.

A Yellow Warning for poor weather has been issued by the Met Office which covers from midnight to midnight.

A spokesman said: “Strong winds will be widespread and last throughout much of Sunday.

‘Gusts of 50 to 60mph are likely across many inland areas and around 70mph in coastal areas.

‘There is a small chance of even stronger winds across parts of Scotland, potentially 70 to 80mph. However, it is currently very uncertain whether the wind will reach this strength here and when this will occur.

‘ A spell of heavy rain will also affect many regions for a time, making driving conditions particularly poor.’
