• Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry are likely
• Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
• Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
• Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely

The forecaster said peak gusts of 40-50mph were likely fairly widely inland with perhaps 50-60mph in “more exposed places, including along some coasts”.
