Met Office: High wind warning for Moray
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for high winds this week.
Overnight Wednesday into Thursday, strong west to north-westerly winds are likely to develop across a large swathe of the country.
Quite widely winds are expected to peak with gusts reaching 50-60 mph, however in some locations, such as exposed coastlines, plus over and to the east of high ground there is a chance that gusts of 70-80 mph may be seen in some populated places.
The exact areas and timing of the peak wind gusts speeds are yet to be fully determined, with a chance that this event could continue into Friday for some areas too.
If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves and across the area, residents are being asked to prepare for potential power outages.
