Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, stated, "Storm Darragh is now moving across the UK bringing very strong winds, heavy rain and in Scotland some snow over the higher ground." This indicates the storm's broad impact across the UK, highlighting severe weather conditions.
Willington warned that "these very strong winds will bring significant disruption, with the risk of flying debris, falling trees, large waves along the coast and power cuts." These elements underline the potential dangers residents faced during the storm.
He emphasized the importance of listening to responders and emergency services, stating, "during this spell of severe weather it is important to listen to responders and emergency services in your area and keep up to date with the latest weather forecast." This advice serves as a critical reminder for public safety.
Willington concluded by explaining the storm's trajectory, saying, "Storm Darragh will gradually ease from late morning as it crosses the UK, so the strongest winds in the west will start to reduce through Saturday." A note of hope for recovery following the storm.
