The UK is bracing for five days of snow as Storm Éowyn approaches, with warnings of heavy snowfall and strong winds across the country
London: So, Storm Éowyn is on its way, and it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride for the UK. We’re talking about five days of snow, folks! The Met Office has already put out some serious warnings, saying we could see snow falling at a rate of 5cm per hour in some areas.
Starting Friday, the storm is expected to hit hard. Winds could reach up to 80mph, especially in Northern Ireland and parts of northern England. It’s going to be a bit chaotic, with heavy rain and snow making their way across the country.
On Thursday, we’ll see rain moving in, especially in Northern Ireland and Wales, while northern England and the Scottish Highlands brace for snow. It’s a mixed bag, but the real action kicks off early Friday morning.
By then, Wales will be drenched with rain, and Northern Ireland will be getting those heavy snow flurries. Temperatures are going to drop, too, with some areas seeing lows around -2C. Brr!
Saturday might be a bit calmer, but don’t let your guard down. Light snow could still be hanging around in Scotland and parts of northern England. Manchester and Liverpool might get a taste of it, so keep an eye out.
As we roll into Sunday, expect more rain in Northern Ireland and South Wales, with some areas getting hit with 10mm of rain per hour. It’s going to be a wet one!
Finally, Monday wraps up this snowy saga with intense flurries in southern Scotland. Most of the UK will likely see rain, but the Met Office warns that some areas could still get a bit of snow.
Mike Silverstone from the Met Office said it’s crucial to stay updated as the storm approaches. It’s going to be a wild week, so make sure you’re prepared!
