In Worcestershire there is a yellow wind warning in place for Saturday December 26 and Sunday December 27.

Some roads and bridges may close. Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage. Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties. Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen."
