Following a stormy period between the 18–26 which saw several depressions pass close by to the west coast of Ireland. The storm's low pressure was estimated at 975 mb (28.8 inHg) (Lamb, 1991). A quote from Ulysses by James Joyce is likely based on the aftermath of this storm- "O yes, J.J. O'Molloy said eagerly. Lady Dudley was walking home ...
Waves crash onto the shore in Bantry Bay, on the southwest coast of Ireland, on Jan. 24, 2025, as storm Eowyn brings winds over 100 mph to the U.K. and Ireland.
On 7 September 1995, Scilly Isles, reported a low pressure of 966 hPa. [87] The lowest minimum recorded values for the months May to August lie within 0.5 of 968 hPa. The 20th century low pressure record in the UK occurred on 20 December 1982 at Sule Skerry: it may have dropped as low as 936 hPa. [88]
[21] [22] In 2015 a pilot project by the two forecasters was launched as "Name our storms" which sought public participation in naming large-scale cyclonic windstorms affecting the UK and/or Ireland over the winter of 2015/16. [23] [24] The UK/Ireland storm naming system began its first operational season in 2015/2016, with Storm Abigail.
From there, that low has rapidly intensified over the North Atlantic and spread into Ireland and the U.K. as an intense "bomb cyclone". This means the storm's low pressure has dropped by at least ...
On 21 January 2025, the UK Met Office and associated organisations in Europe used the name "Éowyn" for the fifth storm of the 2024–2025 season. Éowyn is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings and the name was taken from a list based on suggestions by the public.

At Malin Head in northwestern Ireland, a gust of 183 km/h (114 mph) was reported, which was the highest gust in a survey of post-tropical cyclones ...
A storm is considered a bomb cyclone when the barometric pressure falls at least 0.71 of an inch of mercury (24 millibars) in 24 hours. Far surpassing that measure, Storm Eowyn plummeted more than ...
