Get ready for a wild night as Storm Éowyn brings heavy snow and strong winds across the UK, starting this evening and lasting into tomorrow.
City: London
So, Storm Éowyn is about to hit the UK, and it’s not going to be pretty. The Met Office has issued an amber weather alert, warning us about possible blizzard conditions and winds that could be dangerous. They’re saying gusts could reach over 90mph in some areas, which is pretty wild.
Tonight, we can expect heavy snow, especially in Northern Ireland, where they might see up to 10cm of snow per hour. That’s a lot! The storm is set to bring chaos, with power cuts and travel disruptions likely. If you’re in the affected areas, it’s best to stay indoors if you can.
As the storm rolls in, the winds will start picking up this evening. By 11 PM, Wales and Northern Ireland will feel the brunt of it, with winds hitting 51mph in Wales and 45mph in Northern Ireland. Other parts of the UK will see winds averaging around 23mph, but places like Plymouth and Exeter will experience stronger gusts.
By midnight, things will ramp up even more. Coastal areas will see winds intensifying, with gusts reaching 60mph in Pembroke and 59mph in Plymouth. And it’s not just the wind; temperatures will also start to rise a bit, which is a bit of a silver lining.
As we move into the early hours, the storm will continue to batter the coast. By 2 AM, we could see gusts of 60-70mph in many areas, especially along the coast. It’s going to be a rough night, and the Met Office is urging everyone to take precautions.
So, if you’re in the path of Storm Éowyn, make sure you’re prepared. Stay safe, keep warm, and maybe grab some snacks for a cozy night in while the storm rages outside!
