Weather warnings issued by the Met Office for strong winds in the wake of Storm Bella indicate that the Maldon district will be most affected between 7pm today (Boxing Day, 26 December) and 6am tomorrow.

The yellow warning was issued a few days ago, with amber warnings since issued covering an area further south. The latest forecasts predict wind speeds of between 40 and 50mph for Maldon and the surrounding villages, mostly overnight.
