Cork is bracing for Storm Éowyn, with winds reaching 130km/h expected tonight. Stay safe and indoors as severe weather approaches.
Right now, it’s wet and blustery in Cork. But the real trouble starts late tonight. The winds will really kick in around midnight and last until at least 10am tomorrow.
There are Status Red wind alerts and Status Yellow rain alerts kicking in at 2am for several counties, including Cork. These winds are no joke; they could cause serious damage.
Tomorrow, schools will be closed, and roads will be empty. Transport services—air, road, sea, and rail—will likely be cancelled or heavily disrupted.
This is a Danger to Life warning. The best advice? Stay indoors. The conditions will be extremely dangerous for travel and work. Expect fallen trees, power outages, and even structural damage.
West Cork and Kerry might bear the brunt of the storm. But all of Munster is at risk. Secure anything outside and hunker down.
Storm Éowyn, the fifth named storm this season, is rapidly approaching. It’s being fueled by a powerful jet stream with winds up to 260mph.
The exact path of Éowyn will determine where the worst winds hit.
Today, expect some rain, but it’ll clear up later. Tonight, the winds will pick up, bringing heavy rain and potential power outages.
Tomorrow, winds will reach violent storm force along the west coast. It’ll feel much colder due to wind-chill, so bundle up.
Looking ahead, Friday night will be cold with some frost. Saturday starts frosty but will turn wet and windy.
Stay safe out there, Cork! Keep an eye on the weather updates and take care of each other.
