DUE to the Amber weather warning issued by the Met Office regarding severe wind speeds tomorrow, Redditch Market has been cancelled.

The Met Office initially put out a yellow warning for the region, predicting gusts of 50 to 60mph, but earlier today this was increased to an amber warning meaning speeds of 60 to 70 mph are likely - even possibly reaching 70 to 80 mph in hilly areas.

The Met Office says although the strongest winds are only likely to be for a short period, this is still enough time for damage to structures and interruptions to power supplies, and possible widespread disruption to travel networks.

Everyone is also being warned there is a "danger of injury" from flying debris throughout Thursday morning, while trees could be damaged and blown over.

As well as the winds, Storm Doris is expected to deliver heavy rain early on Thursday morning, although the wind and rain is forecast to clear during the afternoon.
