Storm Eowyn is approaching Ireland, bringing severe weather warnings and potential danger. Stay informed about the alerts and their timings.
This storm is expected to hit hard, with Galway and other counties bracing for some serious winds. The red warning covers a lot of ground, including places like Clare, Mayo, and Dublin.
For Galway, they’re predicting winds over 130 km/h. That’s some intense stuff! A red wind warning means we’re looking at rare and dangerous weather.
The alert for Galway is from 3 AM to midnight on Friday. Other areas like Cork and Kerry have their warnings starting a bit earlier.
The impacts could be pretty severe. We’re talking danger to life, unsafe travel, and even structural damage. There could be fallen trees and power outages too.
Experts say this storm could be one of the worst we’ve seen in a long time. It might even match the intensity of Hurricane Debbie from 60 years ago, which was deadly.
BBC’s Barra Best warned that the west coast could see wind gusts up to 120 mph. That’s wild! Schools and workplaces in affected areas will close, and only emergency workers should be on the roads.
