Scotland is expected to be hit with heavy rain and snow later this week, following the onslaught of two storms in recent days. The white stuff is predicted to blanket swathes of the country on Thursday, January 30th, just before the rest of the UK experiences heavy snow on Friday. Freezing temperatures, dropping as low as -6C in parts of the Highlands, are forecast to make a return. This comes after Storm Éowyn caused widespread damage and disruption across Scotland last week, resulting in an emergency 'Armageddon' alert for millions of people.
If the UK being hammered by not one but two storms in the past couple of days wasn't enough, Scotland is expected to be hit with heavy rain and snow later this week.
Worrying weather maps from WX Charts - which uses Met Desk data - shows snow coming into Scotland from the west throughout Thursday. By that evening, the entire west coast is forecast to be battered by rain or snow. Winds of up to 100mph were seen in some areas with long periods of heavy rain across the country. Sadly two people have lost their lives to the storm, and many people have had to deal with severe damages to their fences and roofs.
