UK braces for Storm Chloe impact
25 Oct
Summary
- A third storm, named Chloe, is forecast to hit the UK soon.
- Previous storms Austen and Boelo caused widespread damage and disruption.
- New storm Chloe could bring winds exceeding 70mph to northern areas.
A third storm, provisionally named Chloe, is forecast to approach the UK within the next 48 hours. This potential "significant" weather phenomenon follows in the wake of Storms Austen and Boelo, which have recently battered the country with torrential rain and damaging gusts. These previous storms led to widespread flooding, damaged buildings, power outages for thousands, and severe public transport disruption.
The strongest winds associated with Chloe are expected to impact northwestern Scotland. A yellow warning for wind is scheduled to take effect from 3 am on Tuesday, October 27, lasting until midnight. This warning covers parts of Scotland, northeastern Northern Ireland, and northern England, with anticipated winds exceeding 70mph. The Met Office has cautioned of potential transport disruption.
