The UK has started the new year with less-than-ideal weather conditions as howling winds and heavy rain dominate the city. The Met Office issued weather warnings for much of southern England, with strong winds being the primary concern.
While London is expected to escape the worst of the rain, the capital will bear the brunt of the winds. The Met Office issued a yellow warning for wind, stating that “a spell of very windy weather, accompanied by heavy rain in places, is likely to cause some travel disruption.” This weather warning is in effect from 8 am on Tuesday, January 2, until 9 pm the same day.
