Britain is gearing up for a turbulent start to the New Year, with gusts of up to 75mph expected to lash parts of the country, and temperatures plummeting as low as minus 9°C in certain areas.
As people prepare to welcome in 2024, they are advised to bundle up and secure their party hats, as snowfall is anticipated to blanket much of Scotland. Simultaneously, a “harsh frost” is expected to grip regions further south.
