Recent Update: As the hurricane’s remnants plow through Scotland, three weather warnings were issued.

As the hurricane’s remnants plow through Scotland, three weather warnings were issued.

As the remains of a hurricane prepare to pound the nation, three yellow weather warnings for rain have been issued for Scotland for the upcoming week.

In the worst-hit locations, up to 150mm of rain are predicted in a 24-hour period.

South-west Scotland and the Lothian borders are covered by the Met Office’s warnings on Monday afternoon and evening, while the majority of Wednesday and Thursday are covered by warnings for north-east Scotland, which includes the Highlands, Tayside, Fife, and Strathclyde and Central.

As Hurricane Ernesto’s leftovers made landfall in the UK on Wednesday and Thursday, the forecaster warned that high winds of up to 60 mph might accompany the rain.

It has been advised that delays to public transportation, road spray and flooding, possible power outages, and flooding in residences and commercial buildings are all to be expected.

The Met Office also noted that there was a remote possibility that on Wednesday and Thursday, big waves would cause harm to people and endanger lives in coastal locations.

When Hurricane Ernesto made landfall on Saturday, almost 23,000 people in Bermuda lost electricity.

Though experts predicted it might regain hurricane power when it went over Canada’s Newfoundland, the storm dropped to a tropical storm as it passed over the small island.

Waves above 10.5 meters and winds over 137 km/h were experienced as Hurricane Ernesto pummeled Bermuda.

Because hurricanes demand far higher sea temperatures, they cannot form off the coast of the United Kingdom.

Nonetheless, deep depressions that were once hurricanes and have since traveled to higher latitudes occasionally hit the nation.

Since the primary energy source of these depressions has shifted from the warm ocean surface to the collision of warm tropical and cold polar air—a process known as extratropical transition—they are categorized as “ex-hurricanes” or “extra-tropical cyclones.”

Even though it is no longer categorized as a hurricane, an ex-hurricane may occasionally retain winds of hurricane intensity.
