Brief by Shorts91 Newsdesk / 04:18pm on 20 Dec 2023,Wednesday Weather & Environment
The Met Office issues a weather warning for Storm Pia, bringing winds of up to 80mph to the northern half of the UK on Thursday. Travel plans face disruption in the run-up to Christmas, with potential power cuts and high waves affecting coastal routes. The yellow wind warning, initially set until midnight, now concludes at 9pm. Northern Scotland expects winds of 70-80mph, while other regions may experience speeds of 45-55mph. High-sided vehicles on exposed roads are cautioned, and the low-pressure system, though not officially named in the UK, prompts concerns for holiday disruptions.
