Storm Jocelyn: High Winds Pose Travel Disruptions Across Wales

As Storm Jocelyn looms over Wales, the Met Office has issued dual yellow warnings for high winds, intensifying concerns of travel disruptions. The initial warning, active from midday Tuesday to 15:00 GMT Wednesday, encompasses a broad range, including Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport.

Simultaneously, the second warning, effective from 16:00 Tuesday to 13:00 Wednesday, specifically targets regions such as Conwy and Wrexham. Gusts reaching up to 70mph (112 km/h) are anticipated, amplifying the potential for disruptions to road, rail, air, and ferry transport.

This impending weather event closely follows the impact of Storm Isha, which recently swept through the region with gusts reaching 90mph (144 km/h), resulting in widespread power outages. With Storm Jocelyn marking the 10th named storm in the past five months, residents are advised to stay vigilant and adhere to safety guidelines as they navigate the challenging weather conditions.
