Good morning, everyone. I think it’s safe to say we’re in the middle of a storm that is set to continue throughout the day. Expect plenty of rain, high winds gusting up to 70mph and temperatures fluctuating between 7 and 8 degrees C.
The 08.00 from Fishbourne to Portsmouth has been cancelled.
Both the Red Funnel vehicle ferries and passenger only Red Jets are “suspended until further notice due to adverse weather.”
From the Hover Travel website:
“Services are cancelled due to adverse weather. The next update will be at 09.15 . Tickets will be accepted on the Wightlink Fast Cat Service.”
The remaining island travel services appear to be running to schedule, as of 07.OO this morning, and there are no reported problems with either our roads or traffic. The high winds, however, are likely to cause problems with downed trees, branches and debris, so it would be best only to travel if absolutely necessary.
Friendly Cabs is closed today and will re-open on Monday at 06.00. We wish you all a safe and pleasant Saturday! 01983 506975
