The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning as strong winds are set to batter Monmouthshire today.

The yellow weather warning comes as strong and gusty southwesterly winds may lead to some disruptions throughout the day. 

A Met Office spokesperson said winds of up to 65mph are expected, likely to hit between mid-morning to mid-afternoon. 

The warning covers Monmouthshire including Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. 

It comes into force at 10 am today and lasts until 6 pm.

This is the latest in a line of warnings issued by the Met Office after snow brought on by Storm Larisa wreaked havoc across Wales last week resulting in school and road closures, and leaving some people stranded.
