The UK is on high alert as Storm Eowyn brings fierce winds, heavy rain, and snow across the country. 'Danger to life' warnings have been issued for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with gusts reaching up to 90mph. The Met Office has urged residents to secure loose outdoor items and prepare for potential damage to property.
The Met Office has issued a series of red, amber, and yellow weather warnings across the UK, putting millions of Brits on high alert as Storm Eowyn tightens its grip on the nation. Red ' danger to life ' warnings have been declared for central and southwestern areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The storm is expected to unleash fierce winds of up to 90mph, accompanied by wider amber and yellow warnings for snow, wind, and rain across the country.
The Met Office cautions that this storm will bring heavy downpours, with conditions likely to spread northeast to the rest of the UK. Households are being urged to be vigilant, particularly those with garden sheds and furniture. The sudden and drastic weather change, courtesy of Storm Eowyn, could cause havoc for garden furniture and sheds. The Met Office advises securing loose items in your garden, such as bins, plant pots, garden furniture, and trampolines, even suggesting turning trampolines upside down. It further adds that garden furniture should not be left unsecured in your garden but instead brought inside or 'secured in place', presumably tied down or covered up with heavy objects on top to prevent it from moving. This advice extends to rattan furniture sofas, benches, tables, and chairs as well as garden ornaments, reports the Express. Residents in the path of Storm Eowyn have been urged to batten down the hatches as heavy gales are set to blow through. The Met Office has slapped amber warnings across regions, instructing locals: 'Prepare to protect your property and people from injury.' 'Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds, and fences.' They said: 'There is a chance that damage to buildings and homes could occur, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down.' The forecaster has warned of possible injuries and life dangers from airborne debris along with fierce waves hurling beach materials into seafronts, roads, and properties. Further alarming updates from the Met Office indicate potential widespread outages that could disrupt services, including mobile networks. They have also anticipated travel chaos with probable delays, cancellations, and shutdowns impacting roads, railways, flights, and ferries
