The Met Office has issued amber and yellow weather warnings for strong winds across the UK from Sunday (21 January) to Monday morning (22 January).

Met Office forecasts for the Maldon area show strong winds and a high chance of precipitation until 6 am Monday 22.

Strong winds associated with Storm Isha will likely bring some disruption to travel and utilities across the UK.

Essex Police have asked the public to be careful, especially while driving.

Chief Superintendent Stuart Weaver said "Last time we had an amber weather warning in Essex, our Contact Management Centre received a large amount of calls.

"We have prepared for this, but we ask the public to only call 999 in an emergency and to consider which service your call requires,

"This consideration allows our officers to be free to attend emergencies, help vulnerable people and continue catching criminals."
