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.

Severe weather hits Mallorca and Italy. Severe thunderstorms. . . Thursday, 10 September 2026
Numerous thunderstorms are sweeping across La Palma. The many lightning symbols on the radar and lightning map show that there is heavy lightning activity across large parts of the island. The thunderstorms are striking particularly in the island’s interior and in the south. On the right, you can see the aftermath: a large fallen tree has buried a car beneath it. Emergency services are clearing up the damage. So, along with the thunderstorms, not only heavy rain but also gusts of wind can become a problem.
