Strong winds are expected to hit Macclesfield and east Cheshire from Wednesday onwards.

The Met Office has issued a yellow alert for high winds accompanied by heavy and blustery showers starting from 9pm on Wednesday until 3pm on Thursday.

Drivers are warned of possible delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.

And homeowners have been made aware of possible short term loss of power and other services.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Strong and gusty winds are likely to develop on Wednesday evening and continue into Thursday across England and Wales. Gusts of 50-55 mph are possible inland, especially close to showers.

"Gusts may reach 60-70 mph on coasts and hills, especially in the west, before gradually easing on Thursday afternoon."
