The Met Office is warning of 50mph winds that could cause disruption in Cambridgeshire over the weekend.

Unseasonably strong winds are expected to batter the whole of the UK particularly during the day on Saturday (August 10) as a large Atlantic storm hits.

Events such as the Boardmasters festival have already been cancelled because of the weather.

The Met Office has put out two yellow weather warnings for the East, including for rain on Friday (August 9) and wind on Saturday.

The wind is coming from the south west off of the Atlantic. Gusts of at least 40mph are expected, with some over 50mph possible in Cambridgeshire. Parts of the coast could see winds as high as 60mph.

The Met Office says the wind could potentially cause short term loss of power, as well as affecting travel.

They say that trains, buses and other high-sided vehicles could be disrupted.

They added that minor damage to structures and falling trees could also occur.
