The Bureau of Meteorology’s chief meteorologist, Neil Armstrong, said the strongest winds are expected in southern England.

“The greatest impact from Storm Claudio is expected in northern France, hence the name of the system by Meteor France.

“What that means for us in the UK is that we can expect strong winds along much of England’s south coast.

“Some isolated and particularly exposed coastal areas can experience gusts of over 70 mph, while many of the warning areas can experience gusts of 50 to 60 mph.”

Dark weather is unlikely to improve in the next few days, as low pressure systems coming in from the west are likely to bring more rain and windy days, forecasters said.

The strongest winds can occur in the Irish Sea region.

He said: “Within the warning area, gusts of between 55 and 65 mph are expected.
