Just a heads up for anyone travelling this weekend, very strong winds are expected for the majority of the country, from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening. The Met Office have issued a blanket weather warning for the majority of the country (bar the South East) for strong winds. This is subject to change as details become more refined the closer we get to the weekend. Trees falling over shouldn't be an issue, as the majority of them seem to have lost most of their leaves by now.
"The strongest winds will arrive across northern Scotland during Friday afternoon, before becoming more widespread overnight and into Saturday morning. Winds will tend to slowly ease from the north during the afternoon. The location and strength of the very strongest winds remains uncertain. However, gusts seem likely to reach 50 to 60 mph widely, with 70 to 80 mph possible in coastal locations, particularly in parts of Scotland and north-east England."
