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

Conditions are not expected to settle until Wednesday afternoon.

Met Office chief meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: "The strong north-westerly winds will also affect southwest Scotland late on Tuesday, spreading across much of England and Wales through Wednesday.

"Gusts of 50-55 mph are likely inland and up to 65mph along western coasts.

"Winds will gradually ease during the afternoon."

It comes as gale force winds caused widespread travel disruption and damaged buildings across Kent on Sunday.
