On April 5th, Storm Dave hammered the UK with fierce winds up to 93 miles per hour in North Wales, way stronger than expected, knocking out. Power to thousands of homes in places like County Armour, County Down, Glinnieth, and Abergavini. Heavy snow and blizzards hit the Scottish Highlands, Argole and Western Isles, while gusts grounded flights at Dublin Airport and canceled trains and ferries across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Roads and rails took a beating too. With widespread disruptions forcing drivers to dodge fallen trees and debris, officials lifted the amber-win warning at 3am and yellow alerts later, Sunday morning as the storm pushed into the North Sea, restoring most, power, and services. Flood risks linger, with dozens of warnings nationwide, some rail lines still slowed by speed limits, bridges like the Humber back open but others, restricted, and parts closed in Northern Ireland. Though warmer temps in the low 20 Celsius arrive this week, to ease things up.
