Heavy rain and high winds were causing disruption in much of the country with blizzards forecast in Scotland and widespread cancellation of New Year’s Eve events.

Almost every part of the UK is covered by at least one of multiple Met Office weather warnings between Monday and Wednesday.

On New Year’s Eve, an amber rain warning was in force in the Highlands and Moray until 5pm and a yellow warning for snow and rain covered most of Scotland until midnight, which “may bring significant disruption in the build up to new year”.

Forecasters said delays to all types of transport were “likely” on New Year’s Eve as strong winds persist and may reach speeds of up to 70mph (113 kilometres per hour) in parts of England and Northern Ireland. Parts of central and southern Scotland and northern England were covered by a yellow warning for wind from 7am until 11pm, with a separate wind warning covering Northern Ireland from 6am until 2pm.

A 24-hour yellow warning for rain would come into force across much of Wales and north-west England from 6pm on Tuesday.
