Inter-island ferry services are currently running but they could be suspended later in the day when the wind is expected to pick up.

Inter-island flights are currently suspended.

The NorthLink ferries will run to a heavily altered timetable and a Covid vaccination clinic which was due to take place today has been postponed.
