The Met Office said of the warning: “An area of low pressure is expected to develop over the Atlantic and track eastwards across central Scotland during Sunday with strong winds developing across a large swathe of the UK.

“Gusts of 50-60 mph are most likely over and to the east of high ground.

“With trees in full leaf, fallen branches and damaged trees may cause some localised travel and power disruption.

“While there is high confidence in the development of the low pressure system, there is the potential for a much deeper system with stronger winds and a risk of severe gales around coasts and through the Central Belt.”
