Gale force winds are expected to batter parts of Norfolk this weekend.

According to the Met Office, gale force nine winds will reach the county on Sunday after days of unsettled weather. 

Coastal areas such as Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and Cromer are bracing for winds of up to 47mph.

The gales are expected to be at their strongest between 10am and 4pm on Sunday. 

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said: “As we head into the weekend the weather will remain unsettled with further rain at times and by Sunday there is a chance that a particularly deep area of low pressure arriving from the Atlantic could bring more widespread strong winds, especially in northern and western areas, with potential for some disruption in places."

The warning comes after the region saw highs of 21C on Wednesday.

According to the forecaster, the drastic shift in temperature is due to a wave of hot air coming from Spain over the Pyrenees and hitting the UK.
