What is a yellow wind warning?
A yellow wind warning is issued when strong or gale force winds are expected to occur. These winds can cause damage to property and infrastructure, and can also make travel dangerous.
What precautions should you take?
If you are in an area that is covered by a yellow wind warning, you should take the following precautions:
- Secure loose objects outdoors, such as garden furniture and trampolines.
