Storm Hannah threatens travel disruption

Friday, 25 Apr, 2019 0

Parts of the UK are set to be hit by winds of up to 70 mph from Friday evening until Saturday morning, which could disrupt travel.

The Met Office said the Republic of Ireland will most likely take the brunt of Storm Hannah, but Wales, southwest England and parts of Scotland will also be extremely windy. 

It has issued a yellow warning of gales from 9pm on Friday to 3pm on Saturday for Wales and southwest England.

The Met Office warned that this could lead to delays to road, rail, air and ferry travel, with bus and train services affected. "It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities could be affected by spray and/or large waves," it added.
