The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for very strong winds in Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of north Wales and northern England. “We have issued yellow warnings for wind for Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern parts of both England and Wales for Saturday night and into Sunday, when a spell of very strong winds could cause disruption. “Winds should gradually ease through Easter Sunday as the area of low pressure clears to the North Sea. We could see some particularly damaging winds in parts of Scotland, so, it is here where we are most likely to need to escalate the warnings. Dry and bright.”Separate figures published by the Met Office on Wednesday show March was provisionally one of the warmest on record in England and Wales.
