The warning advises that southwesterly winds will reach mean speeds of 50 of 65 km/h, with gusts of 80 to 90 km/h. The warning will remain in place until 6pm this evening.
The general advisory notice, which is also in effect until 6pm this evening, warns: “Unseasonably windy weather is expected to affect the country during the period. Given the time of year, there is potential for wind-related impacts such as debris from trees and movement of unsecured outdoor items”
