The Met Office website is warning that "Strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power."

Delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely, with some journeys likely to take longer.

The Met Office is also warning that some power cuts are possible due to the wind.

The Met Office Website says: "Strong west or southwesterly winds will arrive across coastal areas of southwest England and Wales during Sunday evening, then develop more widely inland during Monday morning. Gusts of 45-55 mph are expected widely inland, with gusts of 60-70 mph possible at times along exposed coasts and hills. Winds will only slowly ease from the west later in the afternoon and into Monday evening."
