A yellow weather alert for wind is currently in force across Ayrshire. 

The Met Office warning kicked in at 10am this morning and is due to continue until 8pm on Sunday night. 

The weather experts are warning of strong and gusty winds throughout the day leading to possible disruption and delays. 

The Met Office said: "Strong and gusty southerly winds will develop across parts of Northern Ireland before extending into Scotland through Sunday morning.

"Some difficult travel conditions are expected, for instance for some roads such as the A1 in Scotland, and the A2 in Northern Ireland.

"As well as strong crosswinds for some routes, there is also a risk of a few trees being blown over. Gusts of wind are likely to reach 50-60 mph, locally 70 mph to the north of high ground.

"Winds will ease across Northern Ireland by dusk, and across the rest of the warning area by about 8pm."
