Gloucestershire braces for Storm Eowyn with a 24-hour weather warning in place, expecting strong winds and potential disruptions.
The storm could cause a lot of disruption. Think power cuts, damaged buildings, and flying debris. It’s a serious situation, and they officially named the storm just a few days ago.
Travel might be a mess too. Roads, trains, and even ferries could face delays or cancellations. Most of the UK is under some kind of warning, with only London and the South East safe for now.
In Gloucestershire, wind gusts could hit over 50 mph early Friday morning. There’s also a chance of heavy rain during that time. But don’t worry, things should calm down later in the day.
As the weekend approaches, it looks like we’ll have mostly dry weather. However, keep an eye out for some heavy rain on Sunday afternoon.
So, what can we expect on Friday? Well, there might be some roof tiles blown off buildings. Power cuts are likely, which could affect phone services too. Travel will be tricky, with longer journey times and possible road closures.
The Met Office warns that flying debris could pose a danger to life. They say Storm Eowyn will pass close to the northwest of the UK before moving northeast on Saturday.
They’re predicting peak gusts of 50-60 mph inland and even stronger along the coast. So, it’s best to stay safe and be prepared.
