Storm Éowyn is on its way, bringing strong winds and potential chaos this Friday
Teesside: An Amber weather warning is in effect as Storm Éowyn approaches. The Met Office has warned us to brace for some serious winds on Friday.
This warning lasts from 6 AM to 9 PM. Expect gusts between 60-70 mph inland and even stronger along the coast. It’s going to be wild!
As the storm moves across the North-west, it might calm down a bit in some areas. But don’t get too comfortable; the winds will pick up again quickly.
Power cuts are likely, and services like trains and flights could face delays. Some roads and bridges might close, so plan ahead.
There’s a real risk of damage to buildings and homes. Flying debris could cause injuries, and large waves might hit coastal areas.
To stay safe, secure any loose items outside your home. Think about bins, garden furniture, and anything that could blow away.
If you need to travel, check your routes and be prepared. Bring essentials like warm clothes, food, and water in your car.
And if you’re near the coast, be cautious of those big waves. They can be dangerous, even from the shore. Always keep your pets on a lead.
In case of an emergency, don’t hesitate to call 999 for help. Stay safe out there!
