Strong winds may bring disruption this week, as the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind across the whole of England.

The Met Office says strong and gusty winds are likely to develop on Wednesday evening (10 March) and continue into Thursday (11 March) across England and Wales.

Gusts of 50-55 mph are possible inland, especially close to showers. Gusts may reach 60-70 mph on coasts and hills, especially in the west, before gradually easing on Thursday afternoon.

The warning is in place from 9pm on Wednesday to 3pm the following day.
