Lincolnshire will have to battle yet more strong winds this weekend as the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning on Thursday.
A spell of strong winds, connected with Storm Jorge, is expected to move northeast across a large areas of the UK through Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. As a result a yellow weather warning for wind will be put in place from 12pm on Saturday, February 29 until the same time on Sunday, March 1.
The Met Office has issued the following guidance of what to expect during the warning period:
Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely
Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are likely
It’s also likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
