Dublin faces a red weather alert as Storm Eowyn approaches, urging caution for all road users and advising to stay indoors if possible
The storm is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain. It could even be dangerous, so the Road Safety Authority is telling people to stay home if they can. If you must go out, they have some tips to keep you safe on the roads.
First off, slow down and keep a safe distance from other cars. Wet roads can be tricky, especially on highways. If you see a flooded road, don’t risk it—find another way. And always follow road signs and closures.
For those walking or cycling, make sure you’re visible. Wear bright clothes and use lights on your bike. It’s easy to get caught off guard by strong winds, so be extra careful when crossing streets.
The weather service is keeping a close eye on the storm. They’re warning of possible sleet and snow in some areas too. So, stay tuned for updates and take care out there!
