Good morning. In today's headlines, Scotland's transport minister has warned of potentially extreme weather conditions as heavy snow is forecast across the country later this week. Orange warnings are enforced for many areas for Wednesday and Thursday. 1 The transport minister advised people in parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday. This is what he said to us: “The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas. That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came into place in Scotland.” The orange warning has been extended until 6 pm on Thursday. Trains, planes and ferries are also likely to be affected, with a wind chill that could see parts of Britain feeling as cold as minus 15 degrees Celsius. 2 The head of Road Policing said, “I would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should make sure they're prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone. There could be significant traffic delays, so please start to plan your journey now and consider if you really need to travel when conditions are this poor.”
早上好。在今天的头条新闻中,苏格兰交通部长警告称,预计本周晚些时候全国范围内将有大雪,因此可能会出现极端天气状况。许多地区都发布了针对周三和周四的橙色预警。 1 交通部长建议,苏格兰发布橙色预警地区的市民尽量不要在周三出行。这是他的原话:“有些地区的橙色预警可能升级到红色预警。自苏格兰实行现代系统以来,还从未出现过如此严重的降雪预警。”橙色预警已经延长到周四下午六点。火车、飞机和渡轮也很可能受到影响,一场寒流也会相伴而来,它可能会使英国部分地区的温度降到-15℃。 2 道路治安部门的负责人说:“我会敦促司机们在路上格外小心。司机们要确保为出行准备好保暖的衣服、食物、饮料、充足的燃料和充满电的手机。交通可能会出现严重延迟,所以请现在就开始计划您的行程,并考虑在天气条件如此恶劣的情况下您是否必须要出行。”
