Glasgow braces for Storm Éowyn, bringing heavy rain and strong winds this weekend. Expect travel disruptions and potential power outages across the region.
A yellow weather warning kicks in from midnight Friday until Saturday afternoon. So, if you’re in Glasgow or nearby, keep an eye on the weather.
The Met Office says a powerful jet stream is bringing some of the strongest winds we’ve seen this winter. Coastal areas might see gusts up to 80 mph, while inland spots could get hit with 60 mph winds.
This could lead to some damage, like tiles flying off roofs and possible power cuts. Travel might be a hassle too, with delays on roads, trains, and even ferries.
The Met Office warns that while the exact path of the storm is uncertain, we can expect very strong winds. They’ll start from the southeast and shift to the west, with peak gusts hitting 50-60 mph inland and even stronger near the coast.
So, what can you do to stay safe? Here are a few tips: avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose items outside, and stay indoors during the worst of it.
Stay safe out there, Glasgow! And don’t forget to sign up for updates to keep in the loop.
