This time, Éowyn is not JRR Tolkien's heroine in The Lord of the Ringsbut a storm which will mainly affect the United Kingdom on Friday, before reaching the coasts of north-west France, Météo-France reports in its bulletin of Wednesday January 22. This disruption “will circulate very quickly and intensely over Ireland from late night from Thursday to Friday” then will continue to deploy during the day, before reaching “quickly” northern England and Scotland.
-It will bring in its wake strong gusts which will exceed the “130 km/h fairly generalized, approaching 150 km/h, or even more on British terrain”, specifies the meteorological agency.
Éowyn is already categorized as being a “weather bomb”, like storm Ciaran, which hit France hard at the end of 2023. This term is used to describe the “explosive development” of a storm “which loses pressure very quickly, leading to an extremely rapid intensification of winds”, explained climatologist Christophe Cassou to franceinfo.
France should not, however, be concerned “by strong winds”underline Météo-France forecasters, who expect gusts of up to 90 km/h on the northwest coasts, “GOOD far from the violent gusts which risk hitting Ireland and the United Kingdom”. Éowyn will accompany “a clear mild spell in many regions of the northern half after around ten days under anticyclonic domination”. However, in the coming days we should expect “a return of rainy periods” In France.
