Strong south to southeasterly winds are likely to affect the Northern Isles during Sunday. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph could occur quite widely, and there is potential for gusts of around 70 mph. What Should I Do? Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Strong winds across the Northern Isles could bring some disruption.

Areas of heavy rain will affect western and northern Scotland on Sunday and Monday. During Sunday, as the rain initially moves in, this will readily fall as snow away from lower elevations near the west coast, but as it turns increasingly milder, snow will turn back to rain widely across the warning area. 40-60 mm of rain could fall quite widely across the warning area, but 80-110 mm of rain is possible over parts of Skye, Lochaber, Argyll and the Trossachs. This coupled with a rapid thaw of lying snow brings the possibility of some flooding. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

A band of snow will move across the warning area during Sunday morning. Snow is expected to fall to low levels across the warning area during the morning before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground in the afternoon. 2 to 5 cm is likely to low levels, with 10-15 cm above 150 metres elevation and locally 20-30 cm above 300 metres elevation. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow and blizzard conditions, with deep drifts possible. This afternoon, snow will turn increasingly to rain all elevations which will help to melt some of the snow at lower elevations, increasing the risk of flooding. What Should I Do? It is safer not to drive in these conditions, but if you need to make an essential journey, consider alternative forms of transport, to keep you and others safe. If you must drive, do this more safely by: using dipped headlights; accelerating gently, using low revs and changing to higher gears as quickly as possible; starting in second gear to help with wheel slip; maintaining a safe and steady speed, keeping distance from other vehicles; using a low gear to go downhill, avoiding braking unless necessary; steering into skids, not taking your hands of the wheel, and avoiding slamming on brakes. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If isolated due to snow, follow these simple steps to keep safe and well: keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night; turn off electrical heaters and put out your fire before going to bed; ensure pets are safe by keeping them warm and comfortable; prevent frozen pipes by opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing; stay indoors, wrap up warm and close internal doors to keep the heat in; and, if you need support call the British Red Cross Support Line on 0808 196 3651. Help to protect vulnerable people that you know including older people, those with underlying conditions and those who live alone; they may need support with food and medical supplies. If you are worried about your health or that of somebody you know, ring NHS 111. Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities.

Heavy and persistent snowfall will lead to further snow accumulations and disruption during Sunday.

A band of rain and snow will continue to move east across Scotland and northern England during Sunday morning. Snow will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but may fall to low levels for a time, before turning to rain. Whilst not all areas will see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5 cm is likely in places, before snow turns back to rain. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow. Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances. In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain across the east of the area for a few hours during Sunday morning, perhaps leading to widespread ice that would affect all surfaces. Ice from freezing rain, also know as black ice or glaze, is difficult to see and difficult to clear. What Should I Do? Snowy, icy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. If you need to drive, follow these few simple steps to prepare before journeys: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures; look well ahead for potential hazards and keep you speed down; accelerate, brake, steer and change gear as smoothly as possible to reduce the risk of skidding; leave more time to prepare and check your car e.g., wipers, tyres and screen wash; make sure you have essentials in your car (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and an in-car charger). Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal to reduce your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If making a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. People cope better when they have prepared in advance for the risk of power cuts or being cut off from services and amenities due to the snow. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

A spell of strong southwesterly winds will develop on Sunday evening before easing during Monday morning. Gusts of 50-60 mph are expected widely. A brief spell of 70-80 mph gusts, perhaps 85 mph in the most exposed locations, are likely to affect parts of the Hebrides and western Highland coast late evening through the early hours of Monday morning. What Should I Do? Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

Bands of heavy rain will affect southwest Scotland during Sunday. Some of this will fall as snow initially over higher ground before turning back to rain at all altitudes as milder air works in through the day. 30-50 mm of rain could fall quite widely across the warning area, but there is potential for 70-90 mm to build up over the higher ground of Dumfries and Galloway.

In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain across the east of the area for a few hours during Sunday morning, perhaps leading to widespread ice that would affect all surfaces. Ice from freezing rain, also know as black ice or glaze, is difficult to see and difficult to clear. What Should I Do? Snowy, icy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. If you need to drive, follow these few simple steps to prepare before journeys: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures; look well ahead for potential hazards and keep you speed down; accelerate, brake, steer and change gear as smoothly as possible to reduce the risk of skidding; leave more time to prepare and check your car e.g., wipers, tyres and screen wash; make sure you have essentials in your car (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and an in-car charger). Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal to reduce your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If making a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. People cope better when they have prepared in advance for the risk of power cuts or being cut off from services and amenities due to the snow. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

A spell of snow and ice will lead to some disruption on Sunday.

Region: North West England

A band of rain and snow will continue to move east across Scotland and northern England during Sunday morning. Snow will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but may fall to low levels for a time, before turning to rain. Whilst not all areas will see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5 cm is likely in places, before snow turns back to rain. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow. Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances.

Region: Yorkshire & Humber

A band of rain, sleet and snow will move east across the area during Sunday morning, falling onto sub-zero surfaces for a time and leading to ice forming on untreated surfaces. Accumulations of snow mainly small, although a few cm possible over the higher routes in the Pennines and Yorkshire Wolds. Temperatures rising from the west later on Sunday morning with any snow turning to rain, and ice starting to melt. What Should I Do? Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
