Met Office issues fresh weather warning amid traffic disruption

A Met Office warning for high winds has been issued for eastern parts of Wales as bad weather causes traffic disruption. The forecasting agency announced a yellow wind warning that is in place from 10am on Monday until 6pm.

High winds have closed the M48 Severn Bridge and the Cleddau Bridge in Pembrokeshire has been closed to high-sided vehicles. There are delays along the M4 around Newport as a result, mainly for those travelling eastbound. You can follow our live updates on the travel disruption here.

The Met Office warning says: "Southwesterly winds will widely gust to between 50 and 55 mph with gusts reaching 60 to 65 mph over some exposed coasts and hills. The highest gusts are expected between mid-morning and mid-afternoon."
