Essex: The Met Office has issued a weather warning for the area. Storm Éowyn is set to bring some serious winds, reaching up to 50mph. This is happening on Friday, January 24.
They’re saying we might see delays in transport. That includes road, rail, air, and ferry services. Coastal areas could also face big waves and spray.
Bus and train services might be slower, so plan ahead. There’s a chance of power outages too, especially for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes.
The warning is active from 5am to 3pm on Friday. The Met Office has shared some tips to help everyone stay safe during the storm.
They advise checking road conditions and transport schedules before heading out. It’s smart to prepare for power cuts by gathering essentials like torches and batteries.
If you’re near the coast, be cautious of large waves. They can be dangerous, even from the shore. Keep your dogs on a lead and know your route if you’re walking near cliffs.
In case of an emergency, don’t hesitate to call 999 for the Coastguard. And remember, weather warnings can change quickly, so stay updated!
