The warning is in place from Friday 4am until 6pm.

Travel delays and some temporary power disruption could be caused by the high winds.

South-westerly gusts are set to hit 60mph in some places, such as exposed parts of the coast.

Saturday is set to be windy but not as high as Friday.

Over the weekend there will be a mix of warm sunny spells and also a scattering of showers, as Atlantic air filters across the region.
