After days of strong and powerful winds, Storm Pia has finally settled and left the UK with milder weather. The Met Office has stated that some parts of the country can expect to see some patches of rain. They also warned of a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in the northern parts of Scotland.
Storm Pia has caused major disruption all over the UK. There was power outages, school closures, lorries being tipped over, and trees being uprooted. Up to 70mph winds were reported on high ground and up to 55mph in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and North Wales. Around 700 properties were left in darkness in Stoke-on-Trent and 300 families in Birmingham and Cvorentry were left without power.
The Met Office has given an update on their prediction for the weather conditions this weekend and for Christmas Day itself. Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: ‘Christmas Day looks like being fairly unsettled in northern and western areas. Any showers in the north could be wintry with hail and thunder, but even here, any snow will be mainly on high ground. The south of the country will see the best of the drier and brighter conditions.’
People are advised to follow the Met Office’s live blog for the latest updates on Storm Pia and the aftermath it has left behind. Additionally, people should be aware of slippery surfaces and strong winds as they could cause injury. Be sure to stay up to date with the weather conditions to ensure you stay safe and sound.
