Strong west or northwest winds are likely to affect northern areas of the UK on Monday.
Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.
Some bus and train journeys may be affected with some journeys taking longer.
Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are likely.
Some short term interruptions to power supplies are possible. Chief Forecaster's assessment
Winds are expected to strengthen across northwestern areas on Sunday evening with a swathe of gale force winds expected to cross many northern parts of the UK during Monday.
The strongest of the winds should gradually become confined to northeast Scotland by late evening. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely to develop quite widely, with gusts of 70 mph developing over northern Scotland and more locally over high ground elsewhere.
In addition, frequent heavy showers are likely to affect parts of western and northern Scotland.
