Strong winds forecast for last weekend of the year; no rain expected on New Year’s Eve

As the year draws to a close, a Northwesterly wind is expected to blow throughout Saturday and Sunday, becoming moderate during the New Year's Eve celebrations, and light to moderate Westerly on the first day of the year.

Although showers are expected on 30 December, skies should clear up just in time for New Year's Eve, becoming fine on the morning of 1 January and mainly sunny for the rest of the day, the Met Office forecast shows.

The Met Office, in a statement said: "Mercury levels will gradually soar over the weekend; going from 16°C on 30 December, to a comfortable maximum temperature of 18°C on the first day of 2018, this being 2 degrees above the monthly mean for this time of year. "

"Those keen on celebrating the turn of the year outdoors should not feel too cold, as the lowest temperature forecast for the weekend is 10 degrees. The minimum temperature on 1 January is expected to be even higher, at 13°C. Meteorological records show that 2015 started on the coldest note yet, when the temperature dropped to a minimum of 2.1°C.
