Met Office issues weather warning for Hogmanay
27 December 2024
Heavy rain may bring significant disruption in the build up to New Year.
Strong winds and stormy conditions are also possible for the Western Isles on Hogmanay.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert for heavy rain across Scotland.
Rain is likely to become persistent and occasionally heavy on Monday and possibly
last through New Year's Eve.
This may bring some significant disruption and flooding in the build up to New Year
events, although there is still a lot of uncertainty in which areas are likely to
be affected.
Widespread totals of 50 to 70mm are possible over the two days with some places perhaps
seeing 100 to 140mm of rain, these higher totals most likely over western Scotland.
Snow may present an additional hazard, especially in the north of Scotland and over
high ground.
