Storm Bram - named by Met Eireann

-


Storm Bram - named by Met Eireann, Ireland's equivalent of the Met Office - develops rapidly on Tuesday, moving north to the west of the UK but bringing heavy rain and strengthening winds for all.


The strongest winds will be around Irish Sea coasts and up to the north-west of Scotland where severe gales are possible later on Tuesday.

A Met Office amber warning for wind, valid from 16:00 to 23:59 BST Tuesday covers north-west Scotland where gusts of up to 90mph (144km/h) are possible for a few locations.

Impacts will include delays and cancellations to some of the transport network as well as damage to some buildings.

Yellow warnings have also been issued. The first comes into force across west Wales and south-west England from 22:00 Monday to 16:00 BST Tuesday with wind gusts widely 40-50mph (64-80km/h).

But additionally, yellow warnings will cover Northern Ireland from 09:00 to 21:00 GMT on Tuesday and much of Scotland and north-west England from 12:00 Tuesday to 06:00 GMT on Wednesday.

Gusts of 50-60mph (80-97km/h) will be felt widely but exposed coastal areas and higher ground could locally see gusts more than 70mph (113km/h).

The United States government has immediately paused leases for several large‑scale offshore wind energy projects currently under construction off the Atlantic coastline, citing unresolved national security concerns. The move was announced on Monday by the Department of the Interior, which said the action affects five major wind projects as federal agencies assess potential risks to defense operations.  The suspension targets key offshore wind farms that were underway or near completion, including Vineyard Wind 1 off Massachusetts, Revolution Wind between Rhode Island and Connecticut, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, and New York’s Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind 1 projects. These leases, involving billions of dollars in investment and thousands of planned turbines, are now on hold as authorities review classified national security assessments.  According to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the pause is intended to address concerns raised by the Department of War, which warned that ...

The filing, which has yet to be confirmed by the White House or the BBC, has sparked immediate interest from legal and media analysts globally.
