Get ready, the Met Office warns of a 39-hour storm hitting the UK this weekend with strong winds and rain expected
London: The UK is bracing for a wild weekend. A 39-hour storm is on the way, and the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings. The storm kicks off at midnight Friday and lasts until 3 PM Saturday.
Almost the entire country will feel the impact. Storm Éowyn is expected to sweep through the northwest on Friday, then move northeast by Saturday. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Winds will be strong, starting from the southeast and shifting to the west. Expect gusts of 50-60 mph inland and even stronger along the coasts and hills. Some areas in western Scotland might see gusts up to 80 mph!
As the storm rolls in, the winds will start to ease in southern areas later on Friday. The forecast for Tuesday shows a cloudy day with rain in the central UK. But don’t worry, Scotland and Northern Ireland might see some sunshine.
Overnight, expect patchy rain and fog in the south, while the north could get a bit frosty. Wednesday will bring morning fog, but it should lift to reveal some sunshine and scattered showers.
Looking ahead to Thursday through Saturday, it’s going to be a bit chaotic. Rain and strong winds will move east on Thursday, and Friday will be wet and windy. Saturday might bring a mix of sunshine and blustery showers.
