Stormy weather will continue tomorrow, with gusts of up to 80km/h along the coast.

However, conditions will be drier with sunny intervals throughout the day.

Although the Met Office has not issued a weather warning for the area, during blustery conditions and storms, the weather service advises staying indoors as much as possible, driving more slowly on roads and being cautious on exposed routes – such as bridges and high open roads, and not going outside to repair damage while the storm is in progress.
