The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind across parts of Scotland on Thursday, February 10 with gusts possibly reaching up to 60mph.

The warning for wind is paired with a yellow warning for snow that is also placed on parts of the country.

The warning is currently set to be active between 3am and 11am.

Yellow warning for wind

A yellow warning for wind can see disruption caused with travel and power. Delays to some road, rail, air and ferry services should be expected and short term loss of power and services is possible.

The Met Office also warns that difficult driving conditions could be possible as well as delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.

The Met Office said: “A brief period of severe gale force westerly winds will develop across the Western Isles during the early hours of Thursday morning bringing gusts up to 70-75 mph, the Uists most likely to see the strongest winds.

“Then a brief period of strong to gale west to southwesterly winds will transfer quickly eastwards across the rest of the warning area on Thursday morning, gusts typically around 50 mph, but perhaps approaching 60 mph in a few locations.

“Whilst such wind speeds are not unusual for the time of year, recently weakened trees and structures may mean a greater likelihood of localised damage or disruption.”
