‘Strongest winds of winter’ to hit UK as Met Office issue new weather warnings
Share:
The Met Office has issued a number of yellow weather warnings for Friday and Saturday this week as it predicts some of the “strongest winds of the winter so far.”. Regions across Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to be affected by the weather warnings with 50-60 mph winds inland and 70-80 mph winds along the coast, adding that this could get “higher than this in a few locations.”.
The weather agency issued a new map which shows that a powerful Jet Stream above the North Atlantic will cause a return to wet and windy conditions with disruptive weather “likely.”. They described a “deep area of low pressure” expected to pass across the northwest of the UK across Friday and Saturday, which will bring a spell of “very strong” southeasterly to southwesterly winds.
The Met Office said: “The wind strength will gradually ease through Saturday from the south.”. Meteorologist Craig Snell said that the “conditions are expected to become gradually more unsettled” this week, with Thursday seeing a “significant change across the country.”.
“We’re expecting to see more rain accompanied by stronger winds. Temperatures will also be below par for what we usually see at this time of year.”. Friday’s forecast is expected to bring “more notable” wind and rain. This is a breaking news story. More to follow.
