Irish Households Advised to Prepare for Storm Eowyn as Warnings Update Issued

Galway: Storm Eowyn is on its way, and it’s no joke. Experts are telling everyone to get ready. They say to do three important things before it arrives on Friday morning.

This storm could be one of the strongest we’ve seen in years. Winds could hit 160 km/h, especially along the coast. All 32 counties are under a Status Red Wind warning, which is serious business.

So, what should you do? First, charge your mobile phones. Met Eireann warns that power outages are likely, and you’ll want to stay connected. Next, stock up on food. Think flasks of soup and plenty of candles. You might need them!

If you can, just stay home during the storm. The winds are dangerous, and it’s best to avoid travel if you can. Met Eireann emphasizes that these winds can threaten lives and property.

The warnings will kick in at different times across the country. For example, some areas will see the worst winds from 2 am to 10 am on Friday.

Tonight, expect heavy rain and strong winds. Tomorrow, it’ll be even worse, with gale-force winds and more rain. So, stay safe and prepare well!
