Forecasters say there is more bad weather in store
|
Weather forecasters in Guernsey are predicting even stronger winds on Monday afternoon as the Bailiwick continues to be battered by gales.
Guernsey's Met Office says the highest wind speed recorded so far is 56mph or Storm Force 10, but stronger gusts may be recorded before conditions start to moderate in the afternoon.
The weather has caused problems for motorists with flooding and trees brought down.
A number of inter-island flights have also been delayed.
And Guernsey's chief meteorological observer, Tim Lillington, says there is more wet and windy weather in store.
"I think what we are looking at is the eye of the depression moving along the northern part of the channel, the winds are picking up all the time and they are going to continue to increase," he said.
"I think we'll see winds increasing through gale force to severe gale force."
