An Amber warning has been issued, which means there could be possible disruption including travel delays, road and rail closures, interruption to power and potential risk to life and property.

Conditions are expected to become very windy into tonight with severe gales or storms, wintry showers on hills and bitterly cold temperatures.

In windy conditions, the emergency services typically sees an increase in calls.

This is often due to loose items, such as trampolines and garden furniture, causing problems.

Assistant Chief Fire Officer Dave Walton, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “The public can do their bit to keep everyone safe by ensuring these items are stowed away or properly tied down in high winds.

“We have had incidents in the past where trampolines have been blocking roadways and it can cause traffic havoc.

“In high winds also please take that extra bit of care when driving and consider whether your journey really is essential.”

The fire service said amber warnings meant people needed to be prepared to change their plans and take steps to protect themselves, their family and community from the impacts of severe weather.
