Storm Eowyn disrupts UK and Ireland with high winds and snow warnings

Storm Eowyn has caused significant disruption across the UK and Ireland, with new snow and wind warnings issued through Sunday. Winds reached 100 mph, leading to over 1,070 flight cancellations and widespread power outages affecting around 185,000 homes in Northern Ireland. The storm has been described as one of the strongest in decades, with a confirmed death in Ireland due to a falling tree. Damage reports include nearly 400 incidents affecting rail networks, with ongoing efforts to restore power expected to take up to 10 days in some areas. As Storm Eowyn begins to subside, a new storm, named Storm Herminia, is forecast to bring further wind and rain starting Sunday afternoon, primarily affecting the south-west of England and Wales.
