Brace yourselves! Storm Bert is rolling in this weekend with winds hitting 110km/h. Will your umbrella survive?
It seems like Mother Nature is throwing quite the tantrum as Storm Bert makes its way to Ireland this weekend! Predictions show this mischievous storm will be bringing with it wind gusts of up to 110km/h, shaking windows and possibly even your mental fortitude. Met Éireann is sounding the alarm with a weather advisory for multiple regions, urging everyone to strap down those garden gnomes and reinforce any outdoor furniture. It’s the second named storm of the season, and clearly, Bert isn’t planning to go easy on us!
As the icy Arctic conditions finally take a back seat, brace for heavy rain and the possibility of flooding in vulnerable areas. From Waterford to Roscommon, the alerts are as frequent as Irish coffee on a dreary day. Already, schools have closed in certain areas due to the chaos caused by recent snowy weather. With all this, it’s safe to say that if you’re thinking of heading out, be prepared for some serious wind and rain, and perhaps a few impromptu dance moves to keep your spirits up.
Lest you think this is all doom and gloom, let’s not forget that such storms can also turn our beloved countryside into a magnificent, albeit soggy, canvas. Picture rocky seas crashing against the rugged Irish coast while you safely sip your tea indoors, wrapped in your favourite blanket. It’s almost like nature is putting on a show just for us! However, if you do decide to brave the weather, just remember—windbreakers and warm hats are not just fashion statements; they're essentials!
As the winds start to howl, remember that Storm Bert’s antics could leave us with travel disruptions and fallen branches. But, let's not let a storm dampen our spirits. Instead, grab a good book, settle by the fire, and let the elements work their magic outside. And as for Bert? Well, let's hope he doesn’t carry a grudge and leave us with a long mop-up job afterwards!
Fun fact: Did you know that the names of storms in Ireland are assigned in alphabetical order? The idea is to make it easier for the public to stay informed about severe weather warnings. Also, the strongest winds ever recorded in Ireland were during Storm Darwin in 2014, with gusts reaching a whopping 165 km/h! Now that's a storm we won't forget anytime soon!
