The Met Office has raised the alarm as Britain braces for the impact of Storm Nelson, expected to unleash heavy rain and coastal gales across the nation. With the Easter weekend looming, the forecast spells out turbulent conditions ahead.
Two yellow weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office, signaling potential hazards from both wind and rain. Along the southern coast, a warning for high winds remains in effect until 11:50 PM tonight, with gusts anticipated to reach speeds of up to 70mph.
In addition, a separate warning has been issued for heavy rainfall across Northern Ireland, extending until 3:00 AM tomorrow. Storm Nelson is projected to intensify on Thursday, persisting into Good Friday, with the likelihood of widespread heavy rain and coastal gales.
Forecasters caution that gusts could peak at 70mph, accompanied by the risk of hail and thunderstorms. The Met Office underscores the potential for hazardous conditions, warning of the possibility of large waves and beach material posing dangers along seafronts, coastal roads, and properties.
“Strong winds and large coastal waves may lead to hazardous conditions,” the agency emphasized.
As Storm Nelson advances, the latest weather maps illustrate the trajectory of the low-pressure system sweeping across Britain. Named by the Spanish weather service Aemet, Storm Nelson is poised to deliver an Easter washout in Spain and Portugal before moving towards the UK.
While unsettled conditions are expected to persist throughout the Easter weekend, offering a blend of showers, high winds, and intermittent sunny spells, Easter Sunday emerges as the tentative “best day of the week.
As the nation prepares to weather the storm, authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and heed safety precautions amidst the impending adverse weather conditions. Stay tuned for further updates and advisories from the Met Office as Storm Nelson makes its presence felt across the region.
