NORTH Shropshire residents have been warned by the Met Office to expect high winds in the region from Boxing Day.
After Christmas Day comes to an end, a yellow weather warning will come into force across the region.
From 3pm on December 26, very windy weather is expected for Wales as well as parts of England and the far south of Scotland.
The gales are expected to last until midday on Sunday, December 27.
A Met Office spokesman said: “An area of strong south-westerly winds will develop across parts of northern England and the far south of Scotland on Saturday afternoon, before transferring south-eastwards across the rest of England and Wales into Sunday morning, clearing by early Sunday afternoon.
“Inland gusts of 50-60 mph are likely, with the potential for 60-70 mph in some locations. Hills and coasts exposed to the southwesterly winds could see gusts of 70-80 mph.”
