Storm Barra will hit Herefordshire today, bringing strong winds and heavy rain.
There is likely to be disruption in parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland with gusts of up to 90mph possible across Ireland.
Herefordshire should escape the worst of the weather, but we will still see gusts of around 50mph (enough to bring down some trees) and some heavy rain.
The Met Office warning for Herefordshire says:
“Windy conditions developing over western UK early on Tuesday morning will soon spread eastwards across the warning area bringing gales, severe over coastal areas, for a time. Wind in many areas will start to ease during Tuesday evening. Inland, gusts of 45-50 mph are widely expected with coastal areas likely to see gusts of 55-65 mph, especially along North Sea coasts during the evening. In addition to wind, showers and longer spells of rain, as well as hill snow in the north, will make for unpleasant and difficult travel conditions.”
