UK and Ireland Brace for Destructive Storm Éowyn

The UK and Ireland are on high alert as Storm Éowyn, a powerful extratropical “bomb” cyclone, approaches, bringing wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, heavy rain, and snow. Red wind warnings, the highest alert level, have been issued by Met Éireann and the UK Met Office, marking the first such warning in Northern Ireland since 2011. Authorities have closed schools, suspended public transport, and urged residents to stay indoors. Experts warn of dangerous conditions, including flying debris and fallen trees. Storm Éowyn, likened to past deadly storms Eunice and Ciarán, underscores the potential intensification of extreme weather due to climate change.
