A WEATHER warning has been issued with “very strong and disruptive” winds forecast as Storm Debi is set to hit Wales.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind covering parts of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and Carmarthenshire.
The warning is in place between 4am and 6pm on Monday, November 13.
Winds of 70 to 80mph in coastal areas, and 60 to 65mph inland, have been forecast by the Met Office.

Some transport services – including buses, trains, flights and ferry crossings – may be affected by the storm, with delays or cancellations possible.
Some roads or bridges may be closed due to the conditions, and the Met Office has warned of potential damage to buildings, power cuts, or flying debris in the wind.
“Storm Debi is expected to develop and move across Ireland and northern England on Monday,” a Met Office spokesperson said.
“Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth of this low, there is a chance of very strong westerly winds developing along Irish Sea coasts of Wales and northwest England on Monday morning before extending inland during day, slowly easing later.
“There is a chance of 60 to 65mph gusts developing inland and 70 to 80mph around coasts, and over some higher ground, such as the Pennines.”
