On Friday, wind gusts will return to a more normal speed and will only reach a maximum of 19mph.
The windy weather conditions are the result of a large Atlantic low pressure system.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said: “Most places will see showers or longer spells of rain today but the impacts are most likely to come from strong winds.
“Gusts between 50mph and 60 mph are possible quite widely in the southwest, with up to 75 mph in exposed coastal areas.
“Some disruption due to strong winds is expected in southern areas, particularly the south coast of Wales and southwest England.”
Persistent rain is expected on Friday but the weekend will be generally drier in Oxfordshire before the expected mini heatwave at the start of next week.
