Severe Weather Alert; Snow and Ice Warning for Northern Ireland
The Met Office has issued a new weather warning for snow and ice across Northern Ireland, set to come into force at 7pm on Friday, January 24, and remain in place until 10am on Saturday, January 25. This follows a red alert for wind due to Storm Eowyn, which caused widespread disruption, including power outages affecting over 93,000 homes and businesses. The snow and ice warning covers the entire region, with the Met Office cautioning that icy stretches and snow showers could lead to hazardous driving conditions. Snow accumulations are expected, particularly on high ground in the west, while untreated surfaces are likely to become icy as temperatures drop.
An amber wind warning is also in place until 9pm on Friday, with a yellow wind warning extending until 11.59pm. A further yellow wind warning will be active across Northern Ireland on Sunday from 8am to 3pm. Residents are advised to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel as the region braces for continued severe weather.
