Storm Éowyn is approaching Stoke-on-Trent, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Stay safe and be prepared for disruptions this Friday
Stoke-on-Trent: Storm Éowyn is on its way, and it’s not going to be pretty. The storm is expected to hit with some serious wind gusts, reaching up to 55mph in our area. The Met Office has even issued a yellow alert, so it’s time to take this seriously.
As the storm rolls in, it’s going to cause quite a bit of chaos. Schools are being advised to close, and folks are being told to stay off the roads if they can. The winds are expected to start picking up late Thursday evening, with the worst of it hitting around 4am to 5am on Friday.
It’s not just wind we’re dealing with; heavy rain and even some snow could make an appearance. The storm will first hit Ireland, then move on to Scotland and northern England. So, if you’re in Stoke-on-Trent, brace yourself for a wild Friday.
By the time we wake up Friday morning, we could see gusts of up to 80mph in some areas. The Met Office is warning that this could lead to dangerous conditions, especially in places under the red warning. So, keep an eye on the weather updates and stay safe!
As the storm moves through, it should start to calm down by Saturday, but it’ll still be breezy. The weekend might bring some drier weather, but don’t get too comfortable; another low-pressure system is expected to roll in by Sunday, bringing more wind and rain. Just another reminder to stay prepared!
