The south coast could be hit with winds of up to 60mph tomorrow.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert from 4am to 6pm on Wednesday (2 August 2023).

The Met Office said: "Unseasonably windy conditions, accompanied by showers or longer spells of rain, will affect southern England and Wales during Wednesday.

"The highest winds will affect the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall from early morning, spreading into other English Channel coastal areas during the morning with gusts expected to widely reach 45-50 mph and perhaps in excess of 55-60 mph in the most exposed spots in the far south and southwest of England.
