WINDS of up to 70mph could batter the county on Monday and Tuesday (Sept 17-18) with a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office.
Storm Helene is set to arrive on Monday evening at around 6pm and last until Tuesday at around 8am.
Operational Meteorologist for the Met Office Martin Bowles said: “An issue is that trees are in full leaf and so are more likely to be blown over in strong winds than they would be in the middle of winter.
“That could be a problem.
“The storm will head straight up through the Irish Sea and across the North of England on Monday night, bringing some heavy rain and some strong winds.
“We have updated some areas to a yellow warning.”
Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and take extra care on the roads.
