At the time of writing (8 January), there are 10 yellow and amber weather warnings in place across the UK.

Not all of these relate to Storm Goretti, a “multi-hazard” set of snowy, windy conditions expected to reach us today from the south.

But two snow and wind warnings have been issued in advance of its arrival.

How bad is Storm Goretti expected to be?

These warnings have been escalated from a yellow status (yesterday, both warnings were said to have a medium impact and a low likelihood) to an amber status (medium impact and high likelihood for the wind, and medium impact and medium likelihood for the snow).

Conditions may bring snowfall as high as 30cm, and wind speeds as fast as 90mph, in parts of the UK.

Check the forecast regularly to stay up to date with reports and advice.
