East Midlands Airport's message to passengers as Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice set to hit

East Midlands Airport has issued a statement over two storms which are set to bring strong winds and disruption to travel.

Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice are expected to bring blustery conditions.

Disruption to transport is expected and trees could fall and damage buildings.

The first weather warning, which is yellow for wind, has been issued from 3pm on Wednesday, February 16.

Wind gusts in Nottingham are predicted to reach 47mph through the day, the Met Office says.

Storm Dudley is expected to bring a spell of very strong winds and a risk of disruption later on Wednesday and into the small hours of Thursday, February 17.

A spokesperson for East Midlands Airport said: “With strong winds forecast in the coming days, we advise that passengers contact their airlines if they have concerns about a flight.”

On what to expect, the Met Office said: "Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible, as well as some roads and bridges may close.

"Fallen trees and some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen.

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

"There is a chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris, as well as large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties."
