Storm Chandra, a powerful low-pressure system, is set to affect the UK with heavy snowfall, strong winds, and persistent rain on Monday night and Tuesday. The Met Office has issued both yellow and amber weather warnings, predicting hazardous conditions that will impact travel and daily routines.
Coastal and western regions, including the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, and southwest Wales, will experience gusty winds early on Monday night, with the weather system advancing northwards along the Irish Sea. Eastern areas of Northern Ireland are expected to face significant easterly winds throughout Tuesday.
An amber warning for wind will remain in force until 9 pm on Tuesday, followed by a rain warning starting at midnight, raising concerns over flooding in susceptible areas. Due to these adverse weather conditions, numerous schools across the UK have announced closures for Tuesday to ensure the safety of students and staff.
