Ireland was affected by 183 km/h wind gusts, the strongest record, when the winter storm was connected on Friday and the northern parts of Great Britain, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power.
The schools were closed, the trains stopped and hundreds of flights were canceled in the Republic of Ireland, the neighboring Northern Ireland and Scotland, when the system called Storn Eown roared by the weather authorities.
Forecasts were issued by a rare “red” weather warning, which means the danger of life, on Friday throughout the island of Ireland and the central and south -western Scotland.
“Please, stay at home if you can,” said the first minister of Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill at BBC Radio Ulster. “We're in the storm now. We are in the red alarm period. “
The Scottish parliament in Edinburgh closed the door, and the Scottish first minister John Swinney said: “We must be clear. People should not travel. “
Over 700,000 houses and enterprises in Ireland and almost 100,000 in Northern Ireland were without power because of the “unprecedented, universal and extensive” damage to electricity infrastructure, the Irish supply of electricity supplied the supply of electricity.
Ireland in the weather office, Met Eireann, said that the new wind record was recorded on Mace Head on the west coast, overshadowed the previous sign of 182 km/HW 1945.
The storm is powered by a jet stream and is fed with energy at higher atmosphere. A rapid decrease in air pressure is expected and it can make éowyn a bomb cyclone, what happens when the storm pressure drops by 24 millibers within 24 hours.
Scientists say that indicating the exact impact of climate change on a storm is difficult, but all storms take place in an atmosphere, which warms abnormally quickly due to pollution of human released, such as carbon and methane.
“When the climate becomes warmer, we can expect that the storms will be even more intense, with more compensation,” said Hayley Fowler, a professor of impact on climate change at Newcastle University.
