Derbyshire is bracing for Storm Éowyn with strong winds and cold temps, prompting urgent warnings for residents to prepare for potential hazards
Derbyshire: The Met Office is sounding the alarm for folks in Derbyshire. They’re expecting some serious winds, with gusts hitting up to 60 mph. It’s going to be a chilly one too!
Starting Friday morning, the amber warning kicks in at 6 am and lasts until 9 pm. Areas like Glossop, Dronfield, and Buxton are in the thick of it, while places like Bakewell are on the edge.
Storm Éowyn is rolling in from the northwest, bringing strong winds that could reach 70-80 mph in some spots. The Met Office warns that it might even get crazier along the coasts and hills.
They’re also saying to expect some damage, like roof tiles flying off and possible power cuts. Other services, including mobile coverage and travel, might take a hit too.
So, it’s time to batten down the hatches! Check your yard for anything that could blow away, like bins and garden furniture. It’s all about keeping your stuff safe and sound.
If you’re heading out, make sure to check the roads and transport schedules. And hey, it’s smart to prep for power cuts. Grab some torches, batteries, and a phone charger just in case.
Stay safe out there, Derbyshire!
