GOING Christmas shopping this weekend?

If so, take an umbrella.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind and rain to hit Pembrokeshire from 6am tomorrow (Saturday).

The warning remains in place until 6pm.

While the north of England much of Scotland can expect a festive dose of the white stuff, it will be the far more traditional wet and windy as shoppers head out in Pembrokeshire for one of the busiest weekends of the year on the High Street.

The Met Office said: "Heavy rain and gales will affect parts of Northern Ireland and southwestern areas of the UK on Saturday.

"The wettest areas could see 30 to 50 mm of rain in 6 to 12 hours, while winds could gust to between 50 and 60 mph, especially in exposed coastal areas. The combination of these factors on a busy shopping weekend, may add to potential disruption."

Travellers have been told to expect spray and flooding on roads, delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges and the possibility of short term loss of power.
