Storm Éowyn is set to hit Ireland with severe winds and heavy rain, prompting warnings for dangerous conditions and potential damage across the country
This storm could be the worst we’ve seen this winter. It’s already gathering strength in the Atlantic, and it’s expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds. Met Éireann is warning that parts of Ireland might even face a rare Red Warning for severe winds.
Expect gusts up to 130 km/h starting Thursday night. The storm will likely bring not just wind but also sleet and snow, especially in the west and north. It’s going to be a wild ride, and we’ll need to keep an eye on it as it approaches.
Weather expert Alan O’Reilly has been tracking this storm closely. He’s worried about the latest forecasts, which show damaging gusts across the country. This could be one for the record books.
Met Éireann has highlighted several dangers we might face, including fallen trees, power outages, and poor visibility. They’re advising everyone to be cautious, especially if you need to travel.
The storm is expected to move out by Saturday, but another system could follow on Sunday, bringing more rain and wind. So, stay safe and keep an eye on the weather updates!
