Glasgow weather: Met Office predicts 'very strong winds' of up to 60mph amid yellow warning

Glasgow has been hit by several weather warnings this week as Storm Dudley and now Storm Eunice land on the city.

As well as a yellow warning for ice that has been issued for tonight (February 18) into Saturday, another yellow warning has also been issued for the rest of the weekend for high winds.

The weather warning for wind comes into force on Sunday at 12pm, and remains in place until Monday at 12pm.

Updating their predictions for the week ahead the Met Office said: "Another spell of very strong winds is expected in parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and also some Irish Sea coasts. Winds could gust to 50 to 60 mph inland, and between 70 and 80 mph for a time on the mountains and exposed coasts, with large waves expected as well.

"The strong winds will be accompanied by heavy, frequent and increasingly wintry showers with blizzard conditions expected in the mountains, before conditions ease later on Monday."

As well as strong winds across parts of Scotland, they said the public should expect:

  • There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
