Travel chaos is set to continue today as millions more people get away for the Christmas holidays.

Weather warnings for wind have come into force across much of the UK, with the Met Office warning drivers to take extra care amid wet and windy conditions on the road.

The AA has predicted 22.7 million drivers will hit the road on Saturday and a further 21.3 million on Sunday.

It comes after there were severe delays on the M5 in Devon on Friday after hay bales on a lorry caught fire. On the M25, a crash led to lane closure between J16 and J17 that lasted into the evening.


Weather warnings issued ahead of Christmas getaway traffic

Good morning and welcome to The i Paper’s travel live blog.

Weather warnings for wind have come into force across much of the UK as millions more people get away for Christmas.

Roads and public transport could be disrupted by strong gusts as the Met Office forecast a wet and windy weekend for many.

Met Office yellow warnings were announced for parts of the UK with the RAC warning travelling could be a “pretty exhausting experience” due to the conditions.

Yellow warnings for wind are in place from 7am on Saturday to 9pm on Sunday in the North West, the North East, Scotland and parts of Wales and Northern Ireland.
