Storm Bert is not finished with Scotland just yet, as parts of the country continue to be blown by gale force winds..
After a weekend of serious conditions through snow, wind ice, and rain, a yellow weather warning remains in place in the northwest until 10am this morning (November 25), as the official storm moves east across the north of Scotland.
Another spell of very strong winds will affect parts of the north, as well as western and central areas. Gusts of up to 60mph are widely expected, with this rising as high as 70mph near coastal areas and exposed bridges.
Speaking on Monday’s forecast, Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said that showers will be “frequent across Scotland, some longer spells of rain, snow falling over the mountains as well.”
The Met Office warns that travel and transport delays are likely, with journeys to take longer than usual. Those living on coastal areas should remain vigilant for large waves.
The storm is expected to bring widespread rain even to areas outside of the warning, with maximum temperatures of 10C. Showers will continue overnight before lightening by dawn, with parts of the country to drop as low as 1C.
Tuesday looks to be a lot more settled, but the odd shower may appear around the coasts, with northwest breezes easing.
Wednesday and Thursday dry and bright for most with some lingering fog patches in the Central Belt. Strong southerly winds developing for Friday, with a rain spell reaching in from the west.
