Pay attention to your caps and hats. The strong winds from Storm Éowyn, which will hit Ireland and the British Isles, will also affect part of France, even if they will be less severe.
“This Friday, the cold front linked to Éowyn will water the regions of north-west of France. In terms of wind, gusts could reach 80 to 90 km/h along the coasts on Friday, a far cry from the violent gusts which are likely to hit Ireland and the United Kingdom”declares Météo-France.
For her part, Weather Channel announces that “Ireland has already been placed on red pre-alert for this Friday, as Storm Eowyn is expected to be powerful and the most violent since Storm Ciaran in November 2023”. Waves up to 10 meters high are also expected in the UK.

Weather bomb
If such violent winds are expected in Ireland it is because Éowyn “should go from 970 hPa Thursday to 940 hPa Friday” in the morning when she “will pass over the north of Ireland”. “It is customary in this type of configuration to speak of a 'meteorological bomb'”explain Météo-France.
“If you have to travel to the United Kingdom this Friday, expect a lot of disruption in air traffic to reach or take off from the main airports. Ferry connections will also be affected with certainly cancellations or at best delays. Well, unlike During storm Ciaran, rainfall amounts will remain moderate and there is no fear of major flooding. We generally expect 20 to 40 mm during the passage of the storm. specified The Weather Channel.
