Storm Gareth continues to be felt in Bury St Edmunds and West Suffolk

Winds of up to 50mph will be felt in West Suffolk as a yellow weather warning remains in place today (Tuesday).

Temperatures in Bury St Edmunds will drop to a chilly 4°C this afternoon as gusts continue to be felt from Storm Gareth.

High winds have been forecast for the rest of the week. The Met Office has warned the storm has potential to disrupt traffic and travel.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: “The strong north-westerly winds will also affect southwest Scotland late on Tuesday, spreading across much of England and Wales through Wednesday.

“Gusts of 50-55mph are likely inland and up to 65mph along western coasts. Winds will gradually ease during the afternoon.”

His colleague Dan Suri added: “Whilst the blustery, cold conditions are a contrast to the type of weather we saw at the end of February, this is fairly typical for early March in the UK.”
