The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning covering the majority of the country as adverse conditions are expected from midday on Saturday until 9am on Monday. The warning also encompasses Wales and southern Scotland, highlighting a period of potentially disruptive weather.
Although the current forecast remains somewhat imprecise, the Met Office has indicated the possibility of “heavy snow” during this time frame. This could lead to significant disruptions, particularly for rural communities, which may face the risk of becoming temporarily isolated.
Residents in affected areas are advised to prepare for challenging conditions. Travel disruption is likely, with potential delays or cancellations to public transport and difficulties on the roads. Power outages are also a concern, particularly in remote areas.
The Met Office urges the public to stay informed about updates and to exercise caution when travelling. Essential journeys should be planned with care, and individuals are encouraged to check in on vulnerable neighbours who may require assistance during adverse conditions.
Further updates will be provided as the forecast evolves. For the latest information, visit the Met Office website or follow their social media channels.
