What is a weather bomb'? Storm Goretti set to unload heavy snow, ice and winds on UK
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Meteorologists warn Storm Goretti will bring a weather bomb to the UK and cause disruption across large swathes of the country. The Met Office has issued two amber and seven yellow weather warnings across Britain on Thursday, in what chief forecaster Neil Armstrong has described as a "multi-hazard event" with heavy rain, strong winds and snow. Both BBC Weather and the Met Office have called Storm Goretti, named by the French meteorological service, a weather bomb as it develops rapidly in the Atlantic,"
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across major issues, maintaining paywall-free access and aiming to present multiple perspectives. Donations enable journalists to investigate topics such as political PAC finances and produce documentaries highlighting reproductive-rights activism. Meteorologists warn that Storm Goretti will rapidly intensify and impact large swathes of the UK and France, prompting the Met Office to issue two amber and seven yellow warnings. Forecasts include heavy rain, strong winds, large waves, debris risks, gusts of 80 to 90mph in Cornwall, and up to 30cm of snow in parts of Wales and the Peak District. A weather bomb, or explosive cyclogenesis, involves a pressure drop greater than 24 millibars in 24 hours; forecasts indicate a 36-millibar drop for Goretti.
