The Premier League match was due to kick off at 12.30pm UK time (11.30pm AEDT), but Everton issued a statement in the morning to say it would not go ahead.
The Met office said parts of Wales had experienced wind gusts of over 90 mph (144km/h).
"Storm Darragh continues to bring strong winds across the UK, with red, amber and yellow wind warnings in force," the office said on social media.

Everton and league leaders Liverpool issued nearly identical statements about the postponement.
"Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting at Goodison Park, attended by officials from both clubs, as well as representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council this morning, it was decided that, due to the risk to safety in the local area due to strong wind gusts, and an amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6am on Sunday, today's fixture should be postponed on safety grounds," Everton's statement read.
"We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank supporters for their understanding. Whilst we appreciate this will be deeply disappointing for supporters, the safety of fans, staff and players is of paramount importance."
The Premier League said "the rearrangement of the fixture will be announced in due course."
Liverpool are currently seven points clear at the top, though that lead could be cut to four points if Chelsea and Arsenal secure victories over Fulham and Tottenham respectively this weekend.
