The UK is bracing for the impact of Storm Éowyn , a powerful storm that is expected to bring strong winds , heavy rain , and potential disruption across the country. The Met Office has issued a series of weather warnings in anticipation of the storm's arrival, with yellow, amber, and red warning s in place across different regions. The storm is predicted to move across the northwest of the UK on Friday, clearing to the northeast on Friday night.
This will bring a spell of very strong west to southwesterly winds, with peak gusts of 60-70 mph fairly widely inland, 70-80 mph in some areas, and 80-90 mph along more exposed coasts and hills (perhaps even higher in a few locations). There is a possibility of a slight reduction in wind strength as the centre of the storm passes overhead, but winds are expected to rapidly increase again. Winds will gradually ease later on Friday. Significant disruption to transport and power supplies is anticipated, along with dangerous conditions outdoors. The Met Office advises people to be aware that power cuts may occur and that there may be disruption to public transport and roads. There is also a chance of damage to homes and injuries and danger to life due to flying debris and large waves. Storm Éowyn is set to bring a period of unsettled weather. On Saturday, an amber warning for wind will remain in place over the Highlands, including Inverness and Oban as well as the Western Isles such as Lewis and Skye, and the Northern Isles in Orkney and Shetland. A yellow warning for wind covers the rest of Scotland from Ayr northwards. Into Sunday, warnings will be reintroduced along the western coast of England and the south west of Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland and Wales. This yellow warning for wind covers the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish coasts up to Islay. The yellow warning for rain covers most of Wales, the midlands up to Nottingham, and the south. This is in place from 8am on Sunday until 6am on Monday. The public is urged to stay informed about the latest weather updates and to take appropriate precautions
