Northern Ireland is bracing for thick fog, with visibility dropping below 100 meters. Travel disruptions are expected, so stay safe out there!
The Met Office put out a yellow weather warning on Tuesday night. It kicks in at midnight on Wednesday and lasts until 11 AM. This alert covers all six counties in Northern Ireland.
This fog warning comes just before another alert for strong winds. That one starts at midnight on Friday due to Storm Éowyn. It’s the fifth named storm of the season.
The Met Office warns that fog patches might cause some travel issues. They expect fog to develop overnight and linger into Wednesday morning. It should clear up later in the day.
They also mentioned that we might see slower travel times. Bus and train services could face delays, and flights might be canceled or delayed too.
As we head into the weekend, Storm Éowyn is expected to bring strong winds. The Met Office says these winds could cause damage, power cuts, and even flying debris.
Mike Silverstone, the Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said Storm Éowyn will bring unsettled weather. The strongest gusts could hit Northern Ireland and parts of northern England.
He warned that exposed areas might see gusts over 80 mph. This could lead to serious impacts for people living there. Plus, heavy rain is on the way, making the end of the week pretty unpleasant.
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast as things develop. Stay safe and stay updated!
