Heavy rain and snow expected to disrupt Hogmanay celebrations across Scotland.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain and snow for most of Scotland over New Year. The yellow weather alert is set from midnight on Monday, December 30 until midnight on Tuesday, December 31, covering the entirety of Scotland , including Glasgow and surrounding areas. Initially, the warning indicated a high likelihood of rain, but this has been revised to include snowfall: 'Heavy rain and snow may bring significant disruption in the build up to New Year.
' The start of the week, including Monday and Tuesday, is expected to be milder, similar to the past week, with highs of 11°C. However, by New Year's Eve, evening temperatures will plummet to a chilly 2C. The alert reads: 'Heavy rain will become persistent and widespread during Monday and Tuesday. 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.' 'North and east of (and including) 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.' 'Strong winds may exacerbate impacts, particularly across the areas of Scotland affected by snow. Blizzard conditions are possible, especially over high ground and across much of Sutherland and Caithness. Powerline icing is possible where blizzard conditions occur.' This cold snap is predicted to persist into 2025, with temperatures ranging from -2C to 4C in the early days of the year. Keep an eye on Glasgow Live for all the latest weather and travel update
