A yellow weather warning for wind will be in place impacting the whole of East Lothian on Thursday.
The warning, which is in place from 12am until 11.59pm, will impact the whole of Scotland and Ireland as well as the north of England.
The Met Office has warned that strong winds of up to 80mph could cause travel disruption.
The warning reads: “Overnight Wednesday into Thursday, strong west to northwesterly winds are likely to develop across a large swathe of the country.
“Quite widely winds are expected to peak with gusts reaching 50-60mph, however in some locations, such as exposed coastlines, plus over and to the east of high ground there is a chance that gusts of 70-80mph may be seen in some populated places.
“The exact areas and timing of the peak wind gusts speeds are yet to be fully determined, with a chance that this event could continue into Friday for some areas too.”
