A yellow weather warning has been issued for Glasgow and surrounding areas as strong winds are expected to batter the city over the weekend. The Met Office warns of potential disruption due to 'very strong' winds, with gusts reaching 50-60 mph inland and 70-80 mph in coastal regions. The public is advised to expect damage to buildings and power cuts, as well as travel disruption.
Glasgow and the surrounding areas are bracing for a significant weather event as a yellow weather warning has been issued due to the threat of powerful 60 mph winds. The Met Office has issued a warning of potential disruption, forecasting an area of low pressure expected to bring 'very strong' southeasterly to southwesterly winds on Friday, January 24, and Saturday, January 25.
Gusts reaching 50-60 mph are anticipated in inland regions, while coastal areas could experience even stronger winds, ranging from 70-80 mph. Meteorologists warn that wind speeds might exceed these projections in certain locations. The warning remains in effect from the early hours of Friday until 12 p.m. on Saturday, when the wind intensity is predicted to diminish. The public is urged to anticipate potential damage to structures, power outages, and disruption to travel arrangements. Experts emphasize the danger of injuries caused by flying debris and sizable waves, which could potentially lead to fatalities. A spokesperson for the Met Office stated: 'A deep area of low pressure is anticipated to move close to or across the northwest of the UK on Friday and Saturday. It will usher in a period of very strong southeasterly to southwesterly winds with gusts reaching 50-60 mph inland and 70-80 mph along coasts (and perhaps higher than this in a few locations). The wind strength will gradually ease through Saturday from the south.
