Storm Debi: Wales weather warning for 80mph wind gusts

Wales is bracing for severe weather conditions as the Met Office has issued a warning for wind gusts of up to 80mph along parts of the Welsh coast due to Storm Debi.

14 November 2023 · 03:41 UTC

The weather warning is in effect for a significant portion of north, mid, and west Wales from 04:00 to 18:00 GMT. There is some uncertainty about the specific areas that Storm Debi might impact as it moves westward from the Irish Sea coast.

Inland areas could experience wind gusts reaching 65mph (105km/h), posing potential risks of injuries and danger to life. The areas under the weather warning include Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Powys, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire.

This warning comes in the wake of recent storms, Babet and Ciaran, which have already caused flooding in several Welsh communities. Residents are advised to stay alert and follow safety guidelines during the storm.
