Following the destructive winds of Storm Éowyn, Scotland faces a new wave of wintry weather with snow, ice, and strong winds predicted. Yellow weather warnings are in effect across much of the country, urging caution and potential travel disruptions.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued across many parts of Scotland for snow, ice, and strong winds, just hours after the country was battered by hurricane-force gusts from Storm Éowyn . Many homes were left without power and there was property damage as the storm unleashed ferocious winds reaching speeds of up to 100mph.
The Met Office has issued an alert for snow, ice, and temperatures below freezing across the weekend, as well as another wind warning for Sunday, adding to further disruption. \The new snow and ice warning is in place from 6pm on Saturday, January 25, until 10am Sunday morning. Between five and 10 centimeters of snow is expected to fall, mostly in higher areas, with icy stretches forming on untreated roads and surfaces. Glasgow, Inverclyde, Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Dumfries and Galloway are among those affected by the latest weather warning. The Highlands and Aberdeen, Dundee, Falkirk, Fife, and Perth are also included in the warning. People are being urged to stay off the roads, but those who must travel should exercise caution. The latest warning highlights the risk of icy patches on untreated roads, as well as affected journey times, including for railways, buses, and trains. \Meanwhile, some areas of the country are still experiencing high winds as a result of the storm. Those in the Highlands and Argyll and Bute also have a yellow weather warning issued for Saturday, January 25, in place from 6pm until 6am on Sunday morning. However, the worst of the weather is far from over, with the edge of the country hit by a further yellow weather warning for wind on Sunday, January 26. This will affect Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute, and south Ayrshire. Sunday's yellow wind warning is set to be in place across some parts of Scotland from 8am on Sunday morning, until 3pm in the afternoon. Temperatures are set to fall drastically from Saturday night into Sunday morning, with places hitting minus temperatures. A Met Office spokesperson said: 'We will see temperatures dropping below freezing as the weather sweeps into Scotland from Northern Ireland. This could lead to some frost and icy stretches towards Sunday. 'It will be a chilly start to the day for many of us. Into the evening again we will see some sleet and snow over higher grounds, with some blustery showers across the south west of the country too. This could all cause some disruption as we head into the new week.'
