“Due to these expected unsettled travelling conditions, we are advising road users to exercise extra caution.
“Consider if your journey is necessary and take extra care if travelling. If you must travel, please bear the prevailing conditions in mind. Your journey may take longer than normal, please drive slowly to minimize the impact of wind gusts, and be aware of high-sided vehicles on more exposed roads.
“Fallen trees or flying debris are possible in the gale force winds. Reduce your speed and give more vulnerable road users such as cyclists and motorcyclists more room than usual, especially when overtaking.
“Consider the potential risks before you leave. Do not place yourself or others in unnecessary danger.”
