A high-impact weather warning has been issued for north Wales, with residents facing potentially hazardous conditions from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. The Met Office has advised people in Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and Wrexham to prepare for strong gusts of up to 50mph and heavy rain that could cause disruption.
The warning affects the entire region, with coastal areas expected to bear the brunt of the strongest winds. Inland residents can also expect heavy rain and gusty conditions, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 14°C over the weekend. The Met Office warns that loose outdoor items, such as garden furniture and bin lids, should be secured to prevent damage or injury.
Regional weather forecasts suggest a mild but unsettled picture across the UK, but north Wales is the only area with a Yellow weather warning in place. To stay safe during this period, residents are urged to monitor weather updates closely, plan travel carefully, and be prepared for potential power outages.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when driving, checking their vehicles before setting off and allowing extra time for journeys. Road users should also be aware of any hazards that may arise from the strong winds and heavy rain.
