Storm Dave brings 80mph winds to UK, disrupting Easter weekend travel
Storm Dave is hitting the UK with winds up to 80mph this Easter weekend. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning starting at 2 PM Saturday that continues through Easter Sunday.
Storm Dave is bringing dangerous winds up to 80mph across the UK this Easter weekend, prompting weather officials to issue warnings for potential damage and widespread travel disruption.
The Met Office's yellow weather warning took effect at 2 PM on Saturday and extends through Easter Sunday night. Power company SSEN predicts the strongest gusts will hit Saturday evening, with winds reaching about 80mph in some areas.
The timing couldn't be worse for travelers. The RAC predicted this would be the busiest Easter on the roads since 2022, and now people face delays across all transport modes. Officials warn to expect disruption on roads, railways, air travel, and ferry services.
The storm threatens to cause power cuts and property damage as families try to reach Easter destinations. Weather officials extended the original warning area to cover more of the country as Storm Dave's path became clearer.
If you're traveling for Easter, expect major delays on roads, trains, and flights. Power cuts are likely, and the storm hits during what's expected to be the busiest Easter travel weekend since 2022.
The storm continues through Easter Sunday. Check travel updates before leaving and avoid unnecessary trips during peak wind hours Saturday evening.
