Hold onto your hats, folks! Storm Amy has swept through Wales, making quite the entrance and even breaking a UK weather record! 🌪️ With strong winds whipping through the region, Saturday saw quite the upheaval, causing road closures and delays—especially on the M4 between Junctions 37 and 38. 🚗💨
Cardiff had its fair share of chaos too. Fallen trees blocked roads, and over at Bedford Street, a tree even made contact with the home of a local priest—talk about a close call! Thankfully, everyone’s safe, but what a wild day! 🌳🏠
The Met Office confirmed that Amy set a new UK record for the deepest low pressure in October, hitting 947.9 hPa! A new milestone—just not the calm one we were hoping for. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland and Scotland also faced fierce winds, with gusts reaching up to 96 mph! 🏴🌬️
As we head into Sunday, the storm is expected to linger over parts of the UK, bringing a chance of showers and more gusty weather. However, there’s a silver lining: some sunny intervals might just make an appearance! ☀️ Fingers crossed for a calmer day.
Stay safe out there, and keep an eye on those weather updates! 📲⛈️ #StormAmy #WalesWeather #StaySafeWales
