Hold on to your hats because a spell of windy weather is forecast for Wednesday. 

Gusts of 50-60 mph are possible inland, so gales could cause quite a bit of disruption. 

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning from 6am until 10pm. 

Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible, especially if roads and bridges close. 

The public should be careful when they're out and about as material could fall from buildings and trees and branches could be a danger too. 

Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.

A spokesperson said: "Strong winds affecting parts of western Scotland and Northern Ireland early in the day will continue to strengthen through the morning and then extend across many parts of Scotland and northern England and northwest Wales.

"For some exposed areas, in particular parts of western Scotland, gusts could reach in excess of 75 mph in places.

"The gusty winds will be accompanied in places by heavy, squally showers. The winds will gradually ease later on Wednesday, firstly across Northern Ireland, northwest Wales and northern England and then across Scotland."
