AMBER WARNING of WIND for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight eastwards to Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
Issued at:1727 on Sun 27 Mar 2016 Valid from:0115 on Mon 28 Mar 2016 Valid to:1200 on Mon 28 Mar 2016 Very strong southerly winds will develop across southern England from the early hours of Monday, eventually veering westerly before clearing by late morning. The risk of disruption looks to be highest across parts of the south east from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight eastwards to Sussex, Surrey and Kent. Gusts of 60 to 70 mph are likely at times, particularly along the south coast. This warning identifies an area where medium-level impacts are most likely within the broader yellow warning already covering southern England and parts of South Wales. Please be prepared for disruption to outdoor activities and travel, as well as the likelihood of fallen trees and temporary interruptions to power supplies. YELLOW WARNING of WIND for southwest England, southeast England, East Anglia and the southern fringes of southeast Wales. Issued at:1026 on Sun 27 Mar 2016 Valid from:0115 on Mon 28 Mar 2016 Valid to:1500 on Mon 28 Mar 2016 Winds will strengthen markedly across southern England and through the Bristol Channel from the early hours of Monday, with the potential for 50-60 mph gusts inland and 70 mph gusts around coasts exposed to the south. Whilst there is a low likelihood of all areas seeing these strong gusts for a time, southern coastal counties from Hampshire eastwards look most likely to see the strongest winds, and in these areas there is also the possibility of some 60-70 mph gusts well inland. Wind will soon ease from the south west during the morning, then clearing from south east England and East Anglia by mid-afternoon. Additional hazards may include large waves around exposed coasts as well as a period of heavy rain. Please be aware of the potential for disruption to outdoor activities and travel, as well as the possibility of fallen trees and temporary interruptions to power supplies. YELLOW WARNING of RAIN for southeast Wales, southwest and western England, The Midlands, London and southeast England, Yorkshire and Humber. Issued at:1046 on Sun 27 Mar 2016 Valid from:2100 on Sun 27 Mar 2016 Valid to:1200 on Mon 28 Mar 2016 A period of heavy, persistent rain is expected to move northeastwards Sunday night and Monday morning, bringing a risk of surface water flooding, perhaps exacerbated in places by wind-blown debris. The rain is expected to clear northeastwards from southwest England by early Monday, from much of the Midlands around mid-morning, then finally clear from eastern England around Monday lunchtime. Be aware that some low level disruption from localised flooding looks likely. YELLOW WARNING OF WIND for much of ENGLAND and WALES
Issued at 1019 on Friday 25 March Valid from 0700 on Saturday 26 March Until 1900 on Saturday 26 March A swathe of strong winds, accompanied by heavy rain at times, will move east across England and Wales on Saturday. This is expected to bring gusts of 40-50 mph to some inland areas, perhaps topping 60 mph across exposed coasts and hills. Latest indications are that the strongest gusts are more likely across southern and eastern parts of the area, with parts of north Wales and northern England less likely to see any impacts. Nevertheless, please be aware of the possibility of localised low levels of disruption to Easter travel plans and other holiday activities. This is an update to slightly tone down wind gusts and suggest that any disruption is less likely across the north of the warning area. YELLOW WARNING OF WIND for southern parts of ENGLAND and WALES. Issued at 1042 on Friday 25 March Valid from 0015 on Monday 28 March Until 1900 on Monday 28 March Winds will strengthen markedly across southern England and south Wales from the start of Monday, with the potential for 50-60 mph gusts inland and 70 mph gusts around coasts exposed to the south and west. The Met Office has named this area of low pressure Storm Katie. The winds will then ease from the southwest from mid-morning, this improvement progressing to eastern areas by late afternoon or evening. Additional hazards may include large waves around exposed coasts as well as a period of heavy rain. Please be aware of the potential for disruption to outdoor activities and travel, as well as the possibility of fallen trees and temporary interruptions to power supplies. YELLOW EARLY WARNING OF WIND for much of ENGLAND and WALES
Issued at 1034 on Thursday 24 March Valid from 0600 on Saturday 26 March Until 2100 on Saturday 26 March A swathe of strong winds, accompanied by heavy rain at times, will move east across the country on Saturday. This is expected to bring gusts of 45-55 mph, perhaps 60 mph later. Coastal areas exposed to the southwest are likely to see more frequent gusts of 55-65 mph. Please be aware of the possibility of localised travel disruption Friday 11th March

Inland localised accumulations of between 1 and 3 cm could occur. Please be aware of the potential for difficult driving conditions and slippery surfaces. Wintry showers during Sunday evening and night will allow ice to form readily on untreated surfaces and where showers wash off earlier road treatment.
