France, England and countries across western Europe are bracing for what meteorologists warn could be some of the highest wind speeds the region has witnessed in decades as Storm Ciaran hurtles toward coastlines and is set to make landfall on Wednesday evening.
LONDON - France, England and countries across western Europe are bracing for what meteorologists warn could be some of the highest wind speeds the region has witnessed in decades as StormResidents were battening down the hatches in northwestern France as the national forecaster Meteo-France warned of exceptional winds of around 90 miles per hour blowing across Brittany, Normandy and Pays de la Loire.
The U.K.'s weather forecaster, the Met Office, has issued severe weather warnings for winds of 80 miles per hour or more in coastal areas on Wednesday night and through Thursday. The Channel Islands and the east of England are set to bear the brunt of the extreme weather, although much of the south and southeast will also be pummeled with heavier-than-normal wind and rain.
“Trees are in leaf at the moment, so they are more top heavy,” she explained. “That does increase the risk of them falling over and also with the leaves around that makes increased drainage issues.” Heavy rain is expected to be the biggest threat to Wales, and a campsite in the country's southwest that was already flooded will soon be at dangerous levels, the Met Office said.
The storm is caused by an interaction between what's going on near the surface and a few miles above ground.
