Storm Éowyn: Hour by hour forecast for Portsmouth with Met Office weather warning in place

The stormy night is set to continue into this morning in the Portsmouth area with a Met Office yellow weather warning for wind in place until midnight tonight (January 24). Despite the warning, the current forecast suggest that the worst of it will be over by this afternoon.

The weather warning covers much of the UK as Storm Éowyn continues to cause havoc, particularly further north in Northern Ireland and Scotland where red weather warnings are in place.

A Met Office spokesperson said: “ Storm Éowyn will move across the northwest of the UK on Friday, clearing to the northeast on Friday night. This will bring a spell of strong winds, initially south to southeasterly before turning west to southwesterly, with peak gusts of 50-60 mph inland, 60-70 mph around some coasts and hills, and perhaps up to 80 mph in exposed parts of western Scotland.

“It should be noted that there may be a slight reduction in wind strength for a time as the centre of Storm Éowyn passes overhead, this most likely in parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland, before winds rapidly increase again. The wind strength will gradually ease across southern areas later on Friday.”
