DORSET is set to experience ‘high winds’ of up to 55mph this weekend thanks to Storm Arwen.

Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind between 12am and 6pm on Saturday (November 27) with the forecaster warning of 'high winds which may cause some travel disruption and damage.'

Met Office has warned residents that ‘injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible’ while trees, temporary structures, and buildings could be damaged by strong winds.

The weather forecaster has warned ‘injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties’ and there could be disruption to traffic and travel.

A broad look at the weather across Dorset shows it will be a cold Friday night, with chances of rain in some areas of the county. Strong winds are forecast in the early hours of Saturday but will remain strong throughout the day.

A weather forecast for Saturday reads: “Storm Arwen will bring high winds to most areas during Saturday.

“Gusts will widely reach 55 to 65 mph in many coastal areas with the highest gusts in coastal parts of east Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, southwest England and northeast England where gusts in excess of 65 mph are expected in some areas.

“Winds will slowly ease from the northwest during the day.”
