Strong winds have battered Nottingham overnight - and gusts could reach 70 miles per hour on Saturday.

The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning for wind, which will be in place until 2pm on Saturday.

The chief weather forecaster said: "The deep area of low pressure is moving away from the far north of Scotland, leaving west to northwesterly gales in its wake across many central and northern parts of the UK.

"Gusts of 60 mph are likely and locally 70 mph near any squally showers."

Winds are likely to ease during the afternoon, but people are being warned of potential travel disruption due to the gales.

Trains between Nottingham and Manchester were disrupted due to a fallen tree on the line between Sheffield and Manchester.

The tree was removed just after 10am and trains are now back to normal.

There are no reported delays on Nottingham City Transport or Trentbarton buses.

On Friday night and Saturday morning, people across Nottingham took to social media as winds battered the region.

There is better news on the horizon, as the sun will make an appearance on Saturday afternoon, with temperatures of up to 6C.

Temperatures will stay the same on Sunday, with sun predicted for most of the day.

Heading into next week, Monday will be wet, but less chilly at 10C, and Tuesday will be mainly dry with patches of rain.

Wednesday will be sunny, but could see rain in the late evening.
