Scotland : Loss of £50Million : Hogmanay celebrations "Cancelled" as UK-wide weather
 

Warnings.


Amazed LT
you never made a thread



[Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations
have been cancelled as wind,
rain and snow is forecast across
the UK in the coming days.

The Met Office has warned that
weather impacts will be varied
across the UK, with "a wet and
windy spell for many up into the new year".

As 2025 gets under way,
much of the country will be braced
for rain and strong winds with
yellow weather warnings
in place between Monday and Thursday.

An amber warning for rain has
been issued for parts of Scotland
on New Year's Eve, and stormy
conditions are expected to spread
to the rest of the UK.

Edinburgh's street party and
fireworks display were cancelled on
public safety grounds after the
Met Office issued yellow warnings
for wind and rain on Tuesday.]

Feel The Force

Often things like this get kyboshed due to wind up here as they use such big rigs and lights. Its a fairly regular occurrence

elf and safety innit

(and the warnings were posted in the Weathercenter yesterday morning)

Yes but two Days shut down


Nothing Scottish for BBC1HD to show

Just show last years one know one will know or care

They will be able to show
in-door events
BBC1HD news just stated

bookmark me

they will wheel out Aly Bain

no bad thing tbh

Scotland is going to be stuck in 1024 :(

Also Liverpool
scared of the weather.

Peak gust today 43mph Edinburgh 42mph Liverpool

Not really forecast to go much above that

Really the best bet is to watch an old recording from pre-2020 because it's not the same without Hogmanay royalty Jackie Bird anyway. Not worth watching, frankly.

Now Newcastle,
no fireworks - Cancelled as well.

I wonder is its the slightly gusty winds


or another reason......

They say Too dangerous
for Fireworks
which will go in the wrong directions

wind gusts 31 mph at Airprot at mo

not too high but maybe there is a speed cut off limit for Fireworks and insurance?

Yes the winds are not that bad Live feed

It is Dark now,
so we can not see these Winds/Rain /Snowstorms

It's very windy and rainy here

Enough to Cancel Fireworks?

50 50. They might do as a precaution.

Okay and now donate all the money not being used, to ppl who need it

Fireworks are a privilege and there are so many struggling atm

Aw that's a shame.
It's windy here in London as well, but they're saying the fireworks will go ahead.
Let's hope everything goes smoothly :fc:

7pm peak gust London 40 mph

7pm peak gust Edinburgh 32 mph


.......

It's windy outside, but not too bad. I've just been to the shops
