Glasgow hit with wind and snow weather warnings for the New Year

Firstly, the MET Office has warned that strong westerly winds may lead to travel disruption on New Year’s Eve.

This could mean delays and cancelled services as gusts of 50 to 60 mph are expected, perhaps even reaching 70 mph in a few exposed areas.

As a result, a warning will be in place from 7am until 11pm on Tuesday, December 31, for the entire city and town nearby reaching as north and Greenock and Cumbernauld.
