Strong gusty winds are expected to sweep over Bradford district today while a weather warning remains in place throughout Christmas eve.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind between 8am and 10pm on Sunday, December 24.

Here's a guide on what to expect from yellow weather warnings and an hour-by-hour weather forecast by the Met Office.
What does a yellow weather warning mean?
A yellow weather warning means there could be disruption to journeys, damage to buildings, injuries from debris, and fallen trees.
It also means there is a chance that power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, could be affected.
It is an exceptionally mild start for most this Christmas Eve morning
