Over 1,300 Aberdeenshire homes still without power after Storm Otto blasted Scotland
18.02.2023 - 22:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Around 1,300 homes in Scotland are still without power as Storm Otto moves away from the UK. The homes have not been reconnected since they fell off-grid on Saturday afternoon.
The Met Office said the storm has “well and truly cleared” but around 1,300 homes in Aberdeenshire remain without electricity. The forecasting body said the storm, which left more than 60,000 homes without power, has moved onto the continent and is now affecting Scandinavia.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said it had restored power to more than 42,000 homes since the storm struck and is “confident” most of the homes without power will have it back by the end of Saturday. It added that a small number of homes in isolated and rural areas are likely to remain off the grid until Sunday evening “at the latest.”
SSEN said it has sent food vans to the main areas still cut off from supply and they will serve food and drink until 9pm on Saturday. A yellow warning for snow and ice was in place for central parts of Scotland until 9am on Saturday but milder conditions are expected over the weekend.
Gusts of 83mph were recorded in Inverbervie, Aberdeenshire, while wind speed exceeded 70mph across much of Yorkshire and Northumberland. On Friday evening, the mercury plunged to -3.1C (26.42F) in Altnaharra in the Highlands but did not fall below 11C (51.8F) in London’s St James’s Park. The wettest spot was Spadeadam, Cumbria, where 18.8mm of rain fell.
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said Saturday would remain “breezy” in some places, particularly along the west coast, but nothing “on the scale that we have had”. Temperatures are expected to reach 14C (57.2F) to 16C (60.8F) in Herefordshire on Saturday and sunny spells are expected in
