Default 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.]

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

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.

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
