Severe gales and heavy showers could put a dampener on today’s New Year celebrations.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind which comes into effect at 10am and lasts until just before midnight tonight.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow wind warning for the entire county from 11am on Saturday until 3am today.
