Cumbria: Today, there’s a yellow weather warning for wind across most of Cumbria. It’s expected to cause some transport issues, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out.
The Met Office has issued this warning not just for Cumbria but also for parts of the northeast and southern Scotland. So, it’s a bit of a rough day weather-wise.
In Cumbria, the A66 is partially closed for high-sided vehicles due to the strong winds. Plus, the Windermere Ferry isn’t running, which is a bummer for anyone planning to cross.
And it’s not just wind; there’s also a yellow warning for rain in areas like Cheshire and Merseyside. Heavy rain and high winds are causing a bit of chaos across the country.
Scotland is expecting blizzards, and many New Year’s Eve events are getting canceled. It’s a wild start to the new year, for sure!
On New Year’s Eve, there’s an amber rain warning in the Highlands and Moray until 5 PM, and a yellow warning for snow and rain is in effect for most of Scotland until midnight. This could really mess with people’s plans.
Forecasters are saying that delays in transport are likely, especially with winds hitting up to 70 mph in some areas. So, if you’re traveling, be prepared for some hold-ups.
Cumbria Constabulary is advising everyone to be extra cautious on the roads today. Watch out for fallen trees and branches; they can pop up unexpectedly.
Good news, though! There are no weather warnings for Cumbria on New Year’s Day, so hopefully, things will calm down a bit.
