Storm Éowyn is set to hit North Wales with severe winds and rain, prompting red warnings. Residents should prepare for potential disruptions and hazards.
Right now, places like Anglesey and Gwynedd are under a yellow alert for wind. This alert started early today and will last until tonight. Then, it kicks back in at midnight and runs all day Friday.
Tomorrow morning, things ramp up to an amber warning. This means strong winds will be battering North Wales and other areas. It’s going to be a wild ride!
Heavy rain is also expected. A yellow alert for rain is in effect from midnight until 9 am Friday. This could lead to flooding and travel issues, so keep an eye on the weather.
The Met Office says tonight will start off dry but will quickly change. Expect strong winds and heavy rain as Storm Éowyn rolls in. Tomorrow will be wet and windy, but we might see some sunshine later in the day.
Weather maps show rain hitting North Wales at 2 am, with more on the way. By 4:30 am, the downpours will be intense, especially in Gwynedd.
After 5 am, the rain should move out of northwest Wales, but the northeast will still be soaked. The winds will be fierce, with gusts reaching 60-90 mph in some areas.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen warns that this storm could be dangerous. Red Warnings are serious, indicating a risk to life and major disruptions.
This is the first Red Warning for Northern Ireland since 2011. After Storm Éowyn, more wet and windy weather is expected this weekend. Stay safe out there!
