Storm Antoni batters Britain as ‘unseasonably' strong winds of up to 65mph hit Bibby Stockholm asylum barge
The weather authority warned the public could be hurt by flying debris during 65mph winds, with a very real risk of buildings being damaged.
It comes as power cuts were seen across Gloucestershire, with high winds battering Portland Port in Dorset where the government's Bibby Stockholm barge is currently docked.The national weather service has said that the south of Wales and south-west England will be hit with winds on Saturday 5 August - with Northern Ireland to face significant rain on the same day.
The Met Office names storms with the potential for “medium” or “high” impact to highlight the potential impact of the incoming storm. Despite warnings from the Met Office and event cancellations in parts of the country, those at Brighton Pride haven't been deterred by the weather as attendees power through the rainstorms.
"In these areas, gusts inland could reach 50-55mph for a time. These windy conditions will likely coincide with high tides which will present an additional challenge for coastal areas."
