The Met Office has forecast gusty winds for Durham, County Durham, on Tuesday 10 March and Wednesday 11 March 2026, which could cause travel delays and blow loose items around gardens.
Wind speeds are predicted to hit 35 mph on Tuesday before peaking at 37 mph the following day. These sudden bursts of wind can affect the punctuality of buses and trains, so residents are advised to allow extra time for their morning and evening commutes.
Drivers of lorries and other tall vehicles should take extra care on open roads where the wind is strongest. According to The AA, strong gusts can cause these vehicles to sway, making it more difficult to overtake or stay in lane safely.
Authorities from the Met Office suggest that people secure their outdoor furniture and garden equipment to prevent damage. Taking these simple steps can help stop loose items from becoming hazards to neighbours or road users during the windier weather.
