A SECOND weather warning has been issued for Dorset this weekend.

A yellow warning for wind has been issued across the southwest from 3pm on Saturday, November 23 until 9pm on Sunday, November 24.

This follows a yellow weather warning for rain also in place on Saturday and Sunday.

Travel disruption is expected across the region.

A spokesperson for Met Office said: “South or south-westerly gales, locally severe gales are likely to affect many southern counties of England from Saturday afternoon until Sunday night.

“The strongest gusts will be along coasts with gusts 60-70 mph possible around exposed headlands, while elsewhere gusts of 50-60 mph are possible, even for some inland locations.

“The strong winds will start to ease across the southwest on Sunday morning, but may take until evening before easing across the far southeast.”

There is also a slight chance of power cuts, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
