An area of low pressure, named Storm Hannah, will bring strong winds and heavy rain to most of Herefordshire, including Ross-on-Wye, the Met office has warned.

A Yellow wind warning has been issued for Ross-on-Wye and other areas that are most likely to be affected.

Frank Saunders is a Chief Forecaster at the Met Office. He said: “A low-pressure system will sweep in from the west during Friday evening and Saturday bringing strong north-westerly winds to Ireland and then parts of the UK. "We have issued a yellow wind warning for parts of the UK where we’re likely to see inland gusts of 45-55mph and stronger gusts of around 65-75mph in exposed coastal locations.

“Trees are coming into full leaf and many people will be on holiday, so the impacts of a late-April storm may differ subtly from one in mid-winter.”

The Yellow weather warning for Ross-on-Wye is currently in place until 3pm on Saturday, April 27th.
