Scotland braces for Storm Éowyn, facing 100mph winds and heavy snow, prompting a rare red weather warning from the Met Office
Edinburgh: Storm Éowyn is about to hit Scotland hard. The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning. This storm is expected to bring some serious winds and snow.
Starting early Friday morning, the winds could reach up to 100mph. That’s no joke! The red warning is in effect from 10am to 5pm. It’s the highest alert level, so everyone needs to pay attention.
The warning covers a wide area, from Eyemouth on the east coast to the Isle of Mull in the west. Major cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh are right in the danger zone.
People are being told to prepare for “danger to life.” Winds will pick up quickly, and flying debris could cause injuries. Coastal areas might see huge waves crashing onto roads.
Power outages are likely, and there could be damage to homes and buildings. If you’re planning to travel, expect delays or cancellations for trains, flights, and ferries.
Driving conditions will be very dangerous, so it’s best to stay off the roads if you can. The Met Office is urging everyone to stay safe and be cautious.
