The UK faces a stormy weekend as a powerful low-pressure system barrels in from the Atlantic. Expect heavy rain, fierce winds, and potential disruption across large swathes of the country.
Weekend Weather Warning
A Yellow Wind Warning is active for western and northern Scotland from 4pm today until 11am tomorrow. Winds could hit 60–70 mph along exposed coasts, with some spots possibly gusting over 75 mph.
These brutal conditions may throw travel into chaos and disrupt outdoor plans. Always check the latest Met Office warnings before heading out.
Met Office Cautions on Storm Path
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates warns, “Confidence is high that the weekend will be unsettled, but small shifts in the low-pressure system’s track could dramatically change which areas get battered the worst.”
“Some places could face serious disruption while others may dodge the worst. The Met Office is keeping a close eye and will update forecasts as things become clearer.”
Looking Beyond the Weekend
After the weekend chaos, a brief spell of calm arrives late Sunday. But don’t pack away your brolly just yet — more heavy rain and strong winds are forecast from Monday onward, especially over western regions.
The week ahead will be a rollercoaster of wet and windy weather with only occasional drier breaks.
