Southern England and Wales are preparing for winds of 60 to 80 miles per hour late tomorrow that may damage buildings and cause widespread disruption.
Wind strength may be similar to storms last seen in 2007 and 2008, the U.K.’s Met Office said on its website, issuing an amber alert, the middle category of a three-stage warning system that asks people to be prepared. The winds may last from late tomorrow through the morning of Oct. 28, according to the Met office’s last update at 4 a.m. today.
