The Met Office has issued a power cut alert affecting 128 areas across the UK this weekend due to severe weather conditions and strong winds
Newcastle upon Tyne: The Met Office has raised a power cut alert for 128 areas across the UK this weekend. It’s all due to some pretty wild weather coming our way.
They’ve issued Red Warnings for wind in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. This means we could see some serious gusts, especially on Friday.
According to the Met Office, winds could reach 80-90 mph in many places. In some exposed coastal areas, they might even hit 100 mph. That’s no joke!
With these strong winds, there’s a real risk of transport disruptions and power outages. So, if you’re in one of the affected areas, it’s best to be prepared.
They also mentioned that power cuts could affect other services, like mobile phone coverage. So, keep that in mind if you rely on your phone.
Stay safe out there, and keep an eye on the weather updates. It’s going to be a wild weekend!
