Several parts of the country will continue to witness unsettled conditions as theMet Office has issued snow, ice, and wind warnings for this weekend. The yellow alerts come after Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc on Friday, with 100mph recorded at Drumalbin, Lanarkshire.
Many flights and train services were impacted on Friday as a result of the National Weather Agency’s red and amber warnings.
In Ireland, a man died when a tree fell on his car in Raphoe, County Donegal, gardaí (Irish police) said.
However, conditions are likely to remain unstable even on Saturday, as warnings for wind and rain have been issued. The warning highlights travel disruption, flooding, and power cuts.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “The influence of Storm Éowyn on the UK’s weather will diminish as it moves further north and east on Saturday morning, but there’s little respite in the conditions for some with the next area of low pressure arriving from the southwest on Sunday.
“While Sunday’s system doesn’t have the same strength as Eowyn, it will hamper some recovery efforts and bring further wind and rain, with the possibility of some flooding in places. 10-20mm of rain will fall quite widely on Sunday in central and southern England, much of Wales and Northern Ireland, with 30-50mm possible over high ground.
“Thundery showers could top up totals later in the day for some.
“With this rain falling on saturated ground in many places, there’s a chance of flooding for some, with winds an accompanying hazard with the system.”
