Storm Eowyn is hitting Yorkshire hard with strong winds and snow, prompting serious weather warnings and travel disruptions across the region.
The Met Office has issued three weather warnings for Friday, January 24. A yellow warning for snow will hit northern North Yorkshire from 3am to noon. Plus, there’s another yellow warning for wind affecting places like Leeds, Sheffield, and Hull, lasting all day.
But wait, there’s more! An amber warning for wind is in place for Harrogate, parts of Leeds, and other areas from 6am to 9pm. This one warns of potential danger to life from flying debris and power cuts. Winds could even exceed 80mph!
Northern Ireland and Scotland are facing a rare red warning, which is serious stuff. If you’re planning to travel, TransPennine Express is advising against it. They’re expecting delays and cancellations, so they’re allowing ticket changes and refunds.
And it doesn’t stop there! After the storm, a massive wall of snow is expected to sweep across the UK. Areas from North Devon to East Yorkshire will feel the impact.
So, keep an eye on the hour-by-hour forecast for Yorkshire. Stay safe and stay warm!
