The storm is anticipated to reach the UK on Saturday, November 23, and the Met Office forecasts ' heavy rain , strong winds and disruptive snow to parts of the UK through the weekend', potentially causing travel disruption s and flooding.
While Glasgow is expected to largely avoid the worst of the storm, it is predicted to receive heavy rain throughout Saturday, with flood warnings in place. The warning covers both Saturday and Sunday (November 23-24) for a 29-hour period, affecting areas surrounding Glasgow such as Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Lanarkshire, and Dunbartonshire. Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon described Storm Bert as a 'multi-hazard event', stating: 'We're looking at strong winds, some high snowfall accumulation, heavy rain, all in various different parts of the UK. So it's quite a complex weather set-up for the weekend. Generally speaking, it's a very unsettled weekend of weather ahead.' He urged the public to monitor weather forecasts in their specific areas. 'Because of the different nature of the weather across the UK, people really need to have an idea of what the forecast is for them specifically. Further south it’s wind and rain, further north it’s snow then rain and wind. So it really depends on where you are in the UK. Keep on top of the forecast for your area, and prepare as necessary.
