The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain and snow across Scotland, including Glasgow, from midnight on Monday, December 30 to midnight on Tuesday, December 31. Significant disruption is expected, with widespread rainfall of 50-70mm possible, and up to 100-140mm in western Scotland. North and east of Perthshire, precipitation is likely to fall as snow, particularly over high ground. Blizzard conditions are possible, especially over high ground and across much of Sutherland and Caithness.
The Met Office has issued an updated severe weather warning for heavy rain and snow as it says ‘significant disruption’ is expected in time for Hogmanay .
The initial warning predicted lots of rain, however this has since been updated and reads: “Heavy rain and snow may bring significant disruption in the build up to New Year. “North and east of Perthshire, precipitation is likely to fall as snow, especially over high ground, with 10-20cm accumulating above 150-200 meters, with several cm accumulating at lower elevations away from windward coasts. As milder air pushes in, snow will turn back to rain, and any rapid snow melt will contribute to flooding in places.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday look set to be milder in temperature, much like the past week, with highs of 11°C - although by New Year’s Eve, evening temperatures will fall to a chilly 2C.
