Strong southwesterly winds associated with Storm Bram will continue to affect northern Scotland through much of Wednesday before easing overnight. Gusts of 50-60 mph are expected quite widely, with gusts up to 75 mph possible across the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and northern Highland. What Should I Do? Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Storm Bram will continue to bring strong winds and some disruption through Wednesday
