"It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities affected by spray and/or large waves.

"Some short term loss of power and other services is possible.

"Some delays to road and rail transport is likely, particularly on exposed routes and bridges. Air and ferry transport may also be affected."

Strong winds are expected to move northeastwards through the Irish Sea tonight, with 55-65mph gusts expected to blast the Fylde coast.

However, they will "only last for a short time in any one place before easing from the south," the Met Office added.
