Winds ease after 45mph gusts

Battering gales expected across the North-east came to no morethan blustery breezes.

And winds were expected to continue to ease throughout today.

The Met Office said gusts would not be as strong as the 45mphgusts yesterday.

A Met Office spokesman said: "The worst of the wind is over nowand it will continually ease throughout today.

"Wind speeds will peak at around 35mph today - and that will bethe maximum. It's likely they may not even reach that level, wethink some places will record speeds of just 20mph.

"Towns further north in Aberdeenshire, like Huntly and Keith, mayexperience slightly higher winds."

Yesterday saw winds begin to die down after gusts of 45mph wererecorded in the afternoon at Aberdeen Airport.

It was originally thought gusts of up to 70mph would batter the city but forecasters predict winds will ease more as today goeson.
