“West to southwesterly winds will become particularly gusty over and to the east/northeast of hills late Tuesday night and into Wednesday, said the Met Office. “Gusts of 50-60 mph are possible in some areas, and potentially higher in more exposed places.
“This may cause difficult travelling conditions, especially on higher level and north-south routes.”
Forecasters warned of the potential of some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
The Met Office also referenced ‘likely’ delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and motorway bridges, saying delays to road, rail and air transport were ‘possible’.
