Alerta de neve e gelo na Irlanda do Norte; Cuidado com as condições perigosas
O Met Office emitiu um novo alerta meteorológico para neve e gelo em toda a Irlanda do Norte, que entrará em vigor às 19h de sexta-feira, 24 de janeiro, e permanecerá até às 10h de sábado, 25 de janeiro. Isso ocorre após um alerta vermelho para vento devido à tempestade Eowyn, que causou grandes transtornos, incluindo quedas de energia que afetaram mais de 93.000 residências e empresas. O alerta de neve e gelo cobre toda a região, com o Met Office alertando que trechos gelados e chuvas de neve podem levar a condições perigosas para dirigir. Espera-se acúmulo de neve, principalmente em áreas elevadas no oeste, enquanto superfícies não tratadas provavelmente ficarão geladas com a queda das temperaturas.
Um alerta âmbar para vento também está em vigor até às 21h de sexta-feira, com um alerta amarelo para vento estendendo-se até às 23h59. Um novo alerta amarelo para vento estará ativo em toda a Irlanda do Norte no domingo, das 8h às 15h. Os residentes são aconselhados a ter cautela e evitar viagens desnecessárias, já que a região se prepara para continuar enfrentando condições climáticas severas.
