What's your weather like 2015

I think the 20 inches snow if it happens, Lori, will probably be for the Highlands of Scotland. But the high winds are hitting us now although, again, I think it will be Scotland which will bear the brunt of the weather.

 

Hi Redstar, we classify the Mirror Newspaper as a Tabloid Newspaper.........and can be, to put it kindly, "slightly" sensational. One of my neighbours gives it to me after he has read it and I use it in the Cat Litter Trays where it serves a more useful purpose

 

Well, there's a Met Office Yellow Warning out for tonight with the arrival of Storm Clodagh in the next few hours.

Britain will be battered by severe gales on Sunday as the newly named Storm Clodagh crashes into its coastline from the Atlantic.

Gusts of up to 70mph are expected around exposed coastal areas in the west, with winds in inland areas reaching between 50-60mph, particularly in northern England, but Ireland will bear the brunt of the storm’s impact.

The blustery weather forced a number of towns across the UK to cancel their Christmas lights switch-on events over the weekend.

The Met Office has issued weather warnings for Sunday evening, covering the whole of England and Wales, though some parts of eastern Scotland, and Orkney and Shetland will escape the worst of the weather.

Wintry showers are expected over much of Scotland, with snow falling throughout the morning, leaving dustings of up to 15cm (6in) on higher ground. There is a possibility that snow could fall on hills in northern England.

Heavy rain was expected in the morning and early afternoon, particularly in north-east England. Rainfall was not expected to be more than 25mm (1in), but with river levels already high there were fears of localised flooding.

The Environment Agency has issued a number of flood warnings for much of England and Wales, particularly the north-west and south-west.

A Met Office spokesman said: “Although rainfall accumulations are not expected to be particularly large, rivers remain high from previous rainfall and are expected to respond, leading to the risk of flooding.

“The strongest winds are expected to reach Northern Ireland around dawn on Sunday, and most areas by the end of the morning, before gradually subsiding from the west during the afternoon and evening.”

Bognor Regis and Portsmouth on the south coast, and parts of Ayrshire in south-west Scotland were among the areas that suspended their festive plans due to the bad weather.

Local authorities across Scotland cancelled their switch-on celebrations, including Irvine in north Ayrshire.

It's on the Net, Sheal, just type Storm Clodagh.!!!
