On top of the flash flooding and tidal warnings, a Yellow Weather Warning for WIND is in effect for the Yorkshire Coast from 12:00pm on Saturday 24th October until 9:00pm on Sunday 25th October:
Strong winds will spread across northern parts of the UK during Saturday afternoon, combining with spells of heavy rain. Initially strong southerly winds will affect parts of Scotland before more widespread and even stronger westerly winds develop later on Saturday. Very windy conditions will then persist overnight and through much of Sunday before gradually easing from the southwest later. Gusts of 55-65 mph are likely widely with some coastal and exposed areas potentially seeing gusts of 70-80 mph or more, these strongest gusts most likely across Scotland and the far north of England.
