(The Post Script)- As hazardous Storm Éowyn moves towards the UK on Friday. Sections of Scotland and Northern Ireland received Red warnings. With gusts of up to 100 mph (161 km/h) along some exposed shores and flying debris, citizens must be cautious.

The Met Office advised residents to anticipate major transport disruptions and damage to properties with roofs blown off. Additionally, portions of Scotland and the northern region of England are under an amber warning for Friday. Éowyn is bringing snow, rain, and strong winds, and at least one yellow warning is in effect for the rest of the country.

Northern Ireland as a whole will be under a red warning on Friday from 7:00 to 14:00. Therefore, it will impact the morning rush hour. The middle belt of Scotland, including Glasgow and Edinburgh, is under a red warning from 10:00 to 17:00 as the storm proceeds east.

Mid-morning to the afternoon, winds will pick up speed quickly, reaching peak gusts of 80 to 90 mph (129 to 145 km/h.) Traffic will be severely disrupted, with roads being badly damaged and planes, trains, and ferries canceled. There is also a chance of power outages, some of which may persist for many days.

According to BBC Weather, this could be the storm of the century for the Republic of Ireland. Met Éireann, the Irish weather service, has already issued red weather warnings for widespread gusts over 80 mph. These gusts would affect the whole Republic of Ireland.

There will undoubtedly be structural damage as well as major power and transportation disruptions. Train companies Northern, Lumo, LNER, and Avanti warned people not to travel in the northern regions of England and Wales.

On Thursday, heavy rain and strong winds will impact the UK. Furthermore, parts of the south coast, southwest, and Welsh coast can be expected to be covered by a yellow wind warning until 18:00 GMT. Storm Éowyn will affect the UK early on Friday, with snow potential in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the north.
