The alert, which is in force for Sunday and Monday, will coincide with the looming threat of Storm Amy, with forecasters warning that large parts of the UK will experience heavy rain, hail and thunderstorms.

A Met Office forecast said: “An area of low pressure will bring a prolonged spell of windy weather through Sunday evening and into Monday.

Gusts of around 50-60 mph are likely around coasts and hills, with 70-80 mph possible in the most exposed locations, with the windiest conditions expected on Monday morning and moving eastwards as the day progresses.”
