Scotland braces for severe weather as a deep low pressure brings storms and winds up to 80mph this weekend. Stay alert!
Perth: So, the Met Office has dropped a weather warning for Scotland, and it’s not looking pretty. They’re calling it a “pest from the west,” and it’s set to bring some serious storms.
This warning kicks in Friday at midnight and lasts until Saturday afternoon. Expect winds to hit 50-60mph inland and a wild 70-80mph along the coast. Yikes!
They’re saying this is just the start. The weather could change as we get closer, so it’s a good idea to keep checking the Met Office website for updates.
What’s causing all this chaos? A deep low-pressure system is forming, thanks to a strong jet stream pushing it our way. It’s going to squeeze those isobars tight, which means strong winds are on the way.
We’re also in for some heavy rain and even snow in the Highlands. It’s not going to break any records, but it’ll definitely be disruptive.
Right now, it looks like the storm will track up the western side of Scotland, bringing heavy rain and strong winds first, followed by some blustery showers.
Since this is still a few days out, there’s a bit of uncertainty. But as we get closer, the forecasts should get clearer, and who knows, it might even get named a storm!
