Storm Eowyn is approaching Britain with potentially devastating hurricane-force winds exceeding 100mph. The Met Office has issued a rare red warning for the storm, describing it as 'explosively developing.' Experts explain that its intensity results from a robust jet stream combined with ocean temperature contrasts. The rapidly lowering air pressure within the storm contributes to its strength. With the meteorological community urging caution, the storm is expected to be at its most powerful while crossing the UK and Ireland, posing significant risks to those in its path.
"The storm is 'explosively developing,' meaning it's intensifying at an exceptional rate," said Dr Ambrogio Volonté, highlighting the storm's rapid intensification.
"Storm Eowyn is a particularly potent storm because of a very active jet stream," noted Professor Liz Bentley, emphasizing the role of atmospheric conditions.
