Effective

Description
Strong gusty winds, due to tightening pressure gradient, are forecast. The risk to life and property is low but be aware of potential for gale/storm-force wind gusts and keep across the latest forecasts. These winds could make some outdoor activities uncomfortable, if not outright dangerous. Gale-force wind gusts can affect your balance; it's advisable to avoid exposed elevated areas or getting too close to precarious positions like cliff edges, given the forecast conditions. High winds could create dangerous falling or blowing objects. A high wind advisory means strong sustained winds in the range of 40 to 48 km/h (25 to 31 mph, 22 to 27 knots) with higher gusts imminent or occurring.
Instructions
Residents should secure loose, light outdoor items, which can be blown away, and caution should be taken when driving. Further, avoid exposed elevated places.
