A YELLOW weather warning for wind has been issued for parts of Scotland with the possibility of power loss expected.
The Met Office has issued the warning across the Outer Hebrides with winds of up to 60-70 mph expected along “with a chance of 80 mph”.
The warning is in place from on Wednesday November 8 from 8am until 6pm.
The forecaster said the following was to be expected:
- Some delays to road, air and ferry transport are likely with bus services affected
- It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
- Some short-term losses of power and other services is possible
The warning comes after a period of extreme weather last month, which led to hundreds of residents in Brechin being forced to evacuate their homes after the River South Esk breached its banks.
First Minister Humza Yousaf previously said it would be a "long road to recovery" for those impacted by Storm Babet.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
