The city has been included in a weather warning, spread across most of England and Wales, which will remain active until Monday evening.
It comes after strong winds developed in coastal areas of South West England yesterday.
These winds are anticipated to spread inland this morning, with a yellow weather warning in place for the region until 6pm this evening.
Those under the warning zone are likely to feel 45 to 55mph west or south-westerly gusts and exposed locations could see these reach to 70mph, the Met Office said.
Forecasters predict transport delays and large waves affecting coastal areas, with short-term power cuts possible.
The winds will slowly ease from the west later on Monday afternoon and into the evening.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said there could be “low impacts in general” but added: “Nonetheless, there could be some brief kind of power interruptions and some travel disruption for the return to work on Monday morning.
“So it will be quite a windy start to the week.
“The strongest winds are expected to be for west Wales and North West England on Monday morning.”
