Storm Éowyn is set to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the West Country starting Thursday. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for strong winds on Friday, and further warnings may be necessary. The storm is expected to bring a period of unsettled weather with potential for damaging winds.
The West Country is bracing for another storm, this time named Storm Éowyn , which is set to bring heavy rain and strong winds starting Thursday. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for strong winds on Friday, and further warnings may be issued in the coming days. Computer models show a deep area of low pressure approaching the British Isles, bringing with it the potential for stormy weather.
\The jet stream, a high-altitude ribbon of fast-moving winds, is expected to strengthen this week, reaching over 250mph (400km/h). This can fuel the development of low pressure systems and steer them towards the British Isles. Recently, the jet stream has been weak and meandering, resulting in calmer weather. However, the upcoming storm is expected to usher in a period of unsettled weather, with strong winds and heavy rain.\The strongest winds are predicted to hit the Bristol Channel, Exmoor, the Mendips, Lyme Bay, and surrounding inland areas. Gusts may reach over 60mph (97km/h) around the coasts. While the heavy rain is expected to clear by late morning in eastern parts of the region, blustery conditions will persist throughout Friday. The strongest winds are expected to ease through the afternoon. The public is advised to stay updated on official weather warnings, as they may be revised as we approach Storm Éowyn's arrival
