Storm Éowyn is set to hit Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire with strong winds this weekend, prompting weather warnings and safety advisories for residents.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning starting Friday at midnight. It’ll last until late Friday night. Then, another warning kicks in on Saturday morning and goes until the afternoon.
Gusts could reach 50-60 mph inland, and even stronger along the coast. In some exposed areas, winds might hit up to 80 mph. That’s pretty wild!
The storm is expected to move across the northwest of the UK before heading northeast. While there’s some uncertainty about its exact path, strong winds are definitely on the way.
The Met Office warns that damage could happen, like tiles flying off roofs. Power cuts are also a possibility, which could affect mobile phone service too.
Travel disruptions are likely, with delays or cancellations for road, rail, air, and ferry services. Some roads and bridges might close due to the high winds.
Local authorities are keeping a close eye on things. They’re urging everyone to stay safe and be cautious during this storm.
A Met Office spokesperson said that Storm Éowyn will bring unsettled weather, starting Friday. So, it’s a good idea to stay updated on the latest forecasts and warnings. Stay safe out there!
