The UK is expected to experience a 'multi-hazard storm' on New Year's Day, combining severe gales, heavy rain, and possibly significant snow. The storm will bring strong winds, particularly in the south, and heavy snowfall to northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The stormy weather is expected to continue into January 2nd.
Weather warnings are in place for snow, wind and rain across much of the UK on New Year's Day. The start of 2025 will bring a 'multi-hazard storm, combining severe gales, heavy rain and possibly significant snow as the rain runs into cold air,' said Sky News meteorologist Christopher England. The most significant snowfall on New Year's Day will be from Donegal, across Northern Ireland and into the north of England and south of Scotland.
The wind looks strongest in the south, Mr England added, where 60mph winds are possible inland and 80mph gusts around the coasts of the Irish Sea. The stormy weather continues on 2 January, with the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings across England, Wales and parts of Scotland. The UK has faced widespread disruption over the last few days, as thick fog descended. Tens of thousands of passengers had flights delayed or cancelled, while drivers were warned about dangerous conditions with poor visibility. Revellers are also set for a 'wet and rather windy' New Year's Eve, with the potential for a snowy Hogmanay in Scotland. There could be some 'possibly disruptive weather' on 31 December, Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said, with Scotland likely to see the worst of it. 'It looks like there could be some wet and rather windy weather, particularly across Scotland,' he said
