The Met Office said the weather is a “danger to life due to flying debris and falling trees”.
Storm Darragh is arriving this afternoon and with it comes heavy rain, and gale force winds. There is a significant chance of more flooding and major travel disruptions.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “A period of extremely strong winds will develop during the early hours of Saturday morning as Storm Darragh moves across the Irish Sea.
“Gusts of 90 mph or more are possible over coasts and hills of west and south Wales, as well as funnelling through the Bristol Channel with some very large waves on exposed beaches.
“The strongest winds will begin to ease from late morning, though it will remain very windy with Amber wind warnings still in force until the evening.”
