Storm Eowyn set to bring severe weather to Ireland with strong winds and heavy rain

Storm Eowyn is expected to hit Ireland later this week, bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and possible sleet and snow. Met Eireann has issued a weather advisory, warning of potential damaging gusts and disruptions starting Thursday night. The storm is the fifth named storm of the season. It is forecast to affect western and northern regions the most, with warnings of dangerous travel conditions, fallen trees, and power outages. Localized flooding may occur due to heavy rain and snow melt. Another low-pressure system is being monitored for Sunday, which could bring additional severe weather. Met Eireann plans to issue further warnings as the situation develops.
