⚠ADVISORY FOR CAMPERS⚠
Good evening.
Please be advised of a Yellow Weather awarning for strong winds and heavy rain of which the
The Met Office has issued, for between Tuesday 15:00 until Wednesday 23:59.
A spell of very strong to gale force winds are expected along with heavy rain, due to an area of low pressure, this will bring the likelihood of coastal areas seeing 50-70+mph, and inland seeing 40-50+mph. We are advising you to double peg and tie down all tents,
put away any camping gear that isn't needed if it's been brought outside, and if possible, park your car as close to your tent as you can.
If in a caravan, put away anything that's outside, ensure any gazebos or awnings are fully tied-down or removed, and
pack away any garden furniture, children's outside toys, or anything unstable.
Most decent tents are able to withstand these wind speeds, but anything higher than 50mph isn't always advised.
We are also expecting torrential downpours, and due to such already saturated ground, it could lead to localised flooding, large areas of standing water, made worse by leaves, and other loose debris blocking drains etc.
Some campsites could be particularly muddy and slippery. It may be wise to plan indoor activities for a couple of days, as conditions will be rough. So please do take extra care and keep an eye on our page for all the latest updates.
Stay safe,
Penny,
KWT.
