Storm Éowyn to be ‘most destructive’ in Scotland for 13 years

Advertisements

The last wind storm of this scale to affect Central Scotland was on 3 January 2012.

At the time it prompted a Met Office red warning for wind that was similar in scale and scope to the one issued for Éowyn.

That system brought wind gusts of 90mph to Glasgow, with a gust of 102mph recorded at Blackford Hill in Edinburgh.

At the time, it too was deemed to have been the strongest storm to hit central and southern Scotland in 13 years, following the Boxing Day storm of 1998.

The 2012 storm also featured the meteorological phenomenon known as a sting-jet, a mechanism within the atmosphere that develops at a height of about three miles and is associated with rapidly deepening areas of low pressure – or explosive lows – sending a damaging pulse of air to the ground.
