THE MET Office has forecasted gales and rain today for Stroud and much of Gloucestershire.

The heaviest of the rain will be first thing in the morning but gales are likely all day.

Gusts of 50mph are likely in the towns and valleys, and 60mph in the hills around Stroud. Maximum Temperature of 11°C.

The wind will ease and rain will clear this evening and we'll get a dry and clear night.

It will be significantly cooler than recent nights, though frost is unlikely. Minimum temperature of 3°C.

Storm Doris already caused some issues near Stroud last night and has caused problems for commuters to Gloucester from Stroud.
