Two weather warnings for rain and wind have been issued for the East Midlands and Gedling borough residents are now bracing themselves
The Met Office has put yellow alerts in place for Thursday (October 21) from 12am until just before midnight on Friday.
Gedling borough has been included in both alerts, with gusts of up to 55mph expected.
Heavy rainfall is expected on Wednesday evening, with up 50mm in some areas by early Thursday morning.
The British forecaster wrote in a post on X: “Strong winds may cause travel disruption and some damage across parts of England during Thursday.
“A powerful jet stream will drive a deep low-pressure system across the UK bringing heavy rain and strong winds to many areas.”
The forecaster warned strong winds may lead to power cuts, transport disruption and damage to buildings with a small chance of injuries and danger to life caused by large waves and beach material being thrown on to seafronts and coastal roads.
