Storm Eowyn smashed into the British Isles bringing record gusts of over 110mph with millions of Britons urged not to travel and northern regions issued a rare ‘red’ risk-to-life warning. Tree toppled, causing road closures, and more than 1,000 flights were cancelled at airports across the UK, with rail operators halting services and hundreds of schools closed in Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England.
The Standard podcast hears about the super-storm’s causes from Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin. It comes amid reports suggesting Heathrow expansion is back on the table as chancellor Rachel Reeves hunts for economic growth, likely gearing up for a clash with cabinet colleagues - and potentially Sir Sadiq over environmental concerns.
