Nottingham is bracing for heavy rain and winds of up to 57mph as Storm Éowyn hits the UK. While the worst of the weather is expected elsewhere, the city will experience bouts of heavy rain and strong gusts on Friday morning. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for strong winds covering the East Midlands, with potential for damage to buildings, power cuts, and disruption to public transport. Drivers are advised to be extra cautious due to the challenging conditions.
Heavy rain and winds of almost 60mph are expected in Nottingham as we gear up to face Storm Éowyn. While the worst of the weather is expected elsewhere across the UK, bouts of heavy rain have been given out in Nottingham in the early hours of Friday with the highest winds of 57mph likely at about 9am.
The Met Office warns of possible damage to buildings, power cuts and disruption to modes of public transport. The weather agency also warns there's also a possible 'danger to life' from flying debris and, for coastal areas, of "beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties".
“The strongest gusts are likely to be felt across parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, northwestern Wales and western Scotland, where exposed sites could get gusts in excess of 80mph, which has the potential to cause impacts for those in these areas. There will also be some heavy rain, bringing some unpleasant conditions to end the week.
RAC Breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson said: “The wet and windy weather brought about by Storm Éowyn will make driving much more of a challenge towards the end of this week, especially for those in the west of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Strong winds mean there’s a higher likelihood of fallen branches and trees on rural routes between motorways and A-roads, which can obstruct journeys and puncture tyres if not carefully avoided.
