UK Braces for Atlantic Storm Fury

A major Atlantic storm is poised to bring severe winter weather to the UK, with forecasters predicting snow, torrential rain, and gale-force winds. Forecast charts indicate widespread snowfall across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and the Midlands. Southern and central areas, including London, are expected to face persistent heavy rain, with occasional wintry showers. These regions will also experience powerful winds, with gusts potentially reaching 70-90mph inland.

Atlantic-facing coasts of Ireland, western Scotland, and northwest England are forecast to endure the most severe conditions, with wind speeds possibly exceeding 100mph. While the storm's impact will be widespread, some counties in southwest England and west Wales may remain largely unaffected by the heaviest precipitation. The Met Office's long-range forecast suggests a continuation of changeable weather, with a risk of colder conditions and snow, particularly on higher ground in northern areas.
