Edinburgh: After a chilly spell post-Christmas, we enjoyed some milder days. But hold on, that calm is about to change. The Met Office warns of a wet and windy end to January.

They say an Atlantic jet stream is coming, and it could bring back weather warnings. We might even see a named storm soon. Sounds intense, right?

Starting Friday, January 24, a deep low-pressure system will push towards us. This is all thanks to that powerful jet stream fueled by the recent cold snap in North America.

Winds could hit 250mph over the Atlantic. The Met Office predicts we might experience the strongest winds of winter this week. Buckle up!

Heavy rain will sweep in from the west, and some areas might even see snow. Strong winds are on the way too, especially along the west coast.

It looks like Scotland and the UK are in for a wet and windy few days. Even when the storm calms down, the weather won’t be great.

Expect heavy rain followed by showers and strong winds. Temperatures might rise, but with all that wind and rain, it won’t feel much warmer.

The dreary weather could stick around into early February. The Met Office says we’ll see more unsettled conditions starting Friday.

They predict a mix of rain and snow, with strong winds continuing. So, keep your umbrellas handy!

There’s a chance of weather warnings or even a named storm. Temperatures should be a bit above average, but it might not feel like it.

Stay tuned for updates and don’t miss out on the latest news from Scotland and beyond!
