Storm Barra to hit Bute, Tuesday 7th Dec
Heavy rain and strong easterly winds are due to hit Bute on Tuesday 7th December, most likely affecting ferry services during the afternoon.
Current predictions are for the winds to pick up mid-morning, peaking with 50-60mph gusts from the east by early evening along with heavy, possibly wintry, showers. It should all be over by bedtime though!
Clearly with such strong winds from the east there is the potential for some overtopping or localised flooding during the period of high tide (almost 4m which is a little above average) in the early afternoon in the usual places.
