Strong and gusty winds will be noticeable Monday, followed by a return to some rain for New Year’s Eve, and then a plunge right back into winter as the New Year begins later this week.

Nearly every part of the country has been issued one or several yellow weather warning by the Met Office for between Monday and Thursday, where conditions will be severe. The forecast spells a turbulent New Years’ Eve for many as the bad weather is set to travel southwards across the country between December 31 and January 1.

Expect colder air to come with the snow. High temperatures New Year’s Eve are expected to reach the upper 30s. A dryer trend is expected both Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the upper 30s and lower 40s, which is reasonable for the beginning of January.
