THE Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind in Dorset.

Dorset has been battered with bad weather recently after multiple weather warnings were issued for the county last week.

Now, a yellow weather warning for wind is in place on Sunday, September 29 with it starting at 9am and lasting until midnight.

Swanage and Purbeck are particularly affected by the warning.

A Met Office spokesperson said: “It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.

“Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely and probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer.

“Some short-term loss of power and other services is possible, delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely.”

“Winds will strengthen from west to east during Sunday, with gusts of 50-55 mph likely in places, especially near coasts and over/to the west of high ground, perhaps exceeding 60 mph in the most exposed areas.

“This will be accompanied by outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, which could lead to some surface water and spray.

“Winds will gradually ease across Wales and inland parts of southwest England through Sunday evening and night, but it may remain fairly windy along some coasts of southern and southwestern England during Sunday night.”
