The Met Office has issued a yellow alert for the whole of Ayrshire tomorrow, warning of potential travel disruption due to strong winds.

They warned the county could face gusts of up to 60mph between 1am on Thursday, August 22 and around 9am.

It follows a flood alert warning from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) earlier today.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "A spell of very strong southwesterly winds will occur during the early hours of Thursday, easing from the west during the morning.

"Gusts of 50 mph are likely fairly widely with some gusts of 60 mph in exposed locations, including roads passing over high ground in northern England and southern Scotland.

"These gusts will be strong enough to blow over a few trees, given that they are currently in full leaf.

"Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.

"It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.

"There will probably be some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer.

"Some short term loss of power and other services is possible and delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely."

Ferry company CalMac has already cancelled sailings between Ardrossan and Arran this afternoon and evening and warned that earlier journeys may be hit too.

Earlier, SEPA issued a warning right across Ayrshire. The environment body said a combination of high tides, surge, strong winds and high waves is likely to lead to some coastal flooding.

They warned this could lead to some isolated property flooding and transport disruption.
