Eowyn’s Storm Causes Power Outage for One-Third of Ireland

A powerful storm named Eowyn brought record-breaking winds to Ireland, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. The storm also affected Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, and parts of England and Wales, prompting red weather warnings. With gusts reaching up to 114 m.p.h., travel was disrupted, flights were grounded, and public transport was suspended. The storm was fueled by a strong jet stream, which heightened its intensity and led to widespread disruptions. This was the most severe storm for Ireland since 2017, with similarities to Storm Darragh in early December in Britain. Despite Eowyn moving into the Norwegian Sea on Saturday, another storm system is forecast to bring similar hazards on Sunday and Monday. As travelers are advised to check flight statuses, the impact of Eowyn serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and intense weather patterns brought on by climate change.
