A new record wind gust of 183 km/h (114 mph) was recorded in Ireland as Éowyn arrived.

One year ago today, Storm Éowyn arrived in Ireland as the strongest storm in over a decade. Unleashing hurricane force winds and destruction that some areas are still recovering from.

Weather & Radar were on the scene in the west of Ireland, capturing footage on the ground while reporting on all the impacts across the country and in the UK.
