Abstract The impact of severe wind episodes on both the travelling public and the transport network operator is reviewed. The greatest impact is on road, air and sea transport and the examples of storm-force winds in 1987 and 1990 reveals the scale and nature of the disruption. Improvements to the format of weather forecasts and warnings is considered to offer some prospect of reducing the hazard, but a databank of wind-related transport accidents is also needed for planning and preliminary operational statistical analysis.
