Edinburgh and the Lothians are facing strong winds this weekend due to Storm Éowyn, with travel disruptions and safety risks expected
The Met Office says Storm Éowyn will bring gusty winds throughout Friday and Saturday. This could make travel tricky for anyone out and about. There might be longer journey times or even cancellations for road, rail, air, and ferry services.
If you’re driving or taking public transport, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Some routes could be closed due to the weather. There’s also a chance of power cuts, which might affect mobile phone coverage.
Falling debris could be a real concern, too. It might cause injuries or even be dangerous. Buildings could also suffer damage, with roof tiles at risk of being blown off.
If you live near the coast, be careful. Large waves and beach material could pose risks to life and property. Wind speeds in Edinburgh could reach up to 64mph, with some areas of the UK seeing gusts of 90mph. Stay safe out there!
