Warnings of wind affecting North West England

Date published: 16 October 2017


A spell of very windy weather is likely on Monday and Tuesday, 16 and 17 October, in association with ex-tropical storm Ophelia.

Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journeys times and cancellations possible.

Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.

Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs could happen, perhaps leading to injuries and danger to life from flying debris.
