Storm Éowyn is set to unleash fierce winds across the UK, with warnings in place for potential damage and travel disruptions this Friday
Plymouth: Strong winds are on the way this Friday. Storm Éowyn is the fifth storm this year, and it’s no joke. The Met Office has warned us to brace for winds up to 90mph.
The yellow weather warning covers much of the south west. It kicks in at midnight and lasts all day. The worst winds will hit early, around 4am, especially in the north of England and Scotland.
From 7am to 8am, expect gusts of 69mph in places like Bristol and Bath. The storm will move north, clearing the south west by early afternoon. But don’t let your guard down; the north will still feel the brunt.
By mid-morning, the strongest winds will be in northern England and Wales. The Met Office says we should prepare for disruptions. They mentioned possible damage to buildings and power cuts.
Travel delays are likely, and some roads may close. They also warned about flying debris and large waves crashing onto coastal areas. So, it’s best to stay updated on alerts.
If you’re in the path of the storm, secure any loose items outside. Check your travel plans and be ready for power cuts. Grab some torches and batteries just in case.
For those near the coast, be careful of big waves. They can sweep you off your feet. If you’re walking near cliffs, keep your dogs on a lead and know your route.
The yellow warning covers the entire South West, including Bath, Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Plymouth, and Somerset. Stay safe out there!
