Storm Eowyn is set to unleash strong winds and heavy snow across the UK, causing potential disruptions and hazards for residents.
London: Storm Eowyn is making headlines as it approaches the UK, bringing with it some serious weather. The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning, and folks are bracing for strong winds and heavy snow.
Weather maps show a swirling storm system moving in from the southwest, expected to hit around midnight on Friday. By morning, areas from Inverness to North Yorkshire could see 3 to 5 inches of snow, while others might face freezing rain.
As the day goes on, the storm will start to ease, but not before causing some chaos. The Met Office warns of possible blizzard conditions, with gusts reaching up to 90 mph in some coastal areas. This could lead to power outages and travel disruptions.
Scotland’s Central Belt is particularly at risk, with up to 10 inches of snow expected. The storm could also bring flying debris and large waves, posing a danger to life along coastal roads.
