"The Met Office has said the UK's cold weather continues with a deep area of low pressure bringing further snow, strong winds and heavy rain, with Amber warnings issued, as well as wider Yellow warnings. The strongest winds associated with this system are expected to affect the Channel Islands and northern France, hence it has been named Storm Goretti by Météo-France. A period of strong winds is also expected to affect southern England and Wales."
"A period of strong winds is also likely across southwestern areas on Thursday afternoon and evening, with gusts of 50-60 mph possible fairly widely, and 60-70 mph along exposed hills and coasts. There is the chance of a spell of especially strong winds across parts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, where a separate Amber warning has been issued for 80-90 mph gusts in exposed places."
"Storm Goretti will be a multi-hazard event, with the most significant impacts from snow in parts of Wales and the Midlands, though rain and strong winds also have the potential to bring disruption to many. Goretti will bring snow on its northern edge, this most likely over Wales and the Midlands. Here accumulations of 5-10 cm are likely widely, with 15-25 cm in some places, especially hills, and perhaps up to 30 cm very locally."
A deep area of low pressure named Storm Goretti is driving continued cold conditions across the UK, producing snow, strong winds and heavy rain. The strongest winds are expected near the Channel Islands and northern France, with southern England and Wales also at risk. Snowfall is most likely across Wales and parts of the Midlands, with widespread accumulations of 5–10 cm, 15–25 cm on higher ground and up to 30 cm locally. Gusts of 50–70 mph are likely in the southwest, with 80–90 mph possible in exposed parts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Amber and Yellow warnings cover the highest-risk areas.
