ireland and scotland too. with storm eowyn. across northern ireland and scotland, and the isle of man also under the influence of red warnings two —— of man also under the influence of red warnings too. for northern ireland, the warning runs until 2pm, but for scotland until 5pm and it's been extended further south. so this red warning now covers much of dumfries and galloway as well. could be isolated gusts up to 100 miles an hour. but even away from the red warnings, we have got a wider area right across the north of the uk with amber — warnings — 60 to perhaps 90 mile per hour gusts of wind — enough to cause really significant damage and disruption as we head through into the afternoon. so, very strong winds pushing across northern ireland and scotland. the rain clearing from northern ireland, persisting for scotland, with some snow over the mountains. further south across england and wales, clearing skies for the rest of the day. the rain has moved away, so some sunshine, yes, but still really windy. these

the republic of ireland was the first to feel its force. is in place for the entire country, all ferries have been cancelled. next in the path of eowyn is northern ireland where alerts have already sounded on people's phones. all schools will be closed, the first time this has happened since 2017. it is always difficult to make a decision to close the school and i can understand the education authority making the decision, albeit quite late on. i suppose the health and welfare and safety of children and the entire school community is really vitally important. figs is really vitally important. as it crosses — is really vitally important. as it crosses the irish sea gusts of up to 100 miles an hour are predictably before it hit scotland. a red warning will soon come into place for parts of the central belt. in glasgow the streets are deserted, and subway closed as all trains are cancelled. subway closed as all trains are cancelled-— cancelled. this is a ma'or weaned cancelled. this is a ma'or weather events �* cancelled. this is a ma'or weathe

hundreds of flights across the uk and ireland has also been cancelled.ng me now is ben schofield in manchester sarah, i'll start with you, and just give me a sense of what this day has been like. yeah, well, it does _ this day has been like. yeah, well, it does feel _ this day has been like. yeah, well, it does feel like - this day has been like. yeah, well, it does feel like thingsl well, it does feel like things are coming here on the coast of county down in northern ireland, just at the moment there i say. it's a big change from early on today when the gusts were so strong that it was difficult to stand on two feet, to be honest. and while you were speaking, the winds almost taking your breath away, it was so severe. it's a different picture now, it is still windy and it is very cold, but as i say, nothing compared to what it was like earlier on. the main issue the people on the entire island island is the disruption to power supply. the latest figures we have our 283,000 homes in northern ireland are now without electricity this evening. if we cross

in northern ireland a gust of 92 mph, the strongest in northern ireland in over a quarter of a centurystorm eowyn as it makes its way to the uk, and within the storm system we have different flows of air, with the air rising about we get the big cloud and precipitation falling from the cloud, falling into a zone of exceptionally dry air, and some of that precipitation evaporates which causes the air to cool down, and it becomes dense and very quickly it accelerates downwards to the surface of the earth and it is the downward exhilaration that is the stings yet. we think this is responsible for the winds reaching 114 mph around the western side of ireland, then the very powerful damaging winds crossing ireland and into scotland, which had winds of about 100 mph. sting jets were first discovered in the aftermath of the great 1987 storm and this forecast did not go to plan and in the aftermath of scientists looked at the evidence and try to work out what went wrong with the forecast and they discovered these phenomena called sting jets. storm eowyn was also powered by a very strong jet st
