Storm Éowyn had a significant impact, particularly in Connemara and the Midlands of Ireland. Where the storm left widespread devastation, with over 130 power outages still being recorded two weeks later by ESB Networks, despite thousands of outages being fixed in that time.

Storm Éowyn was an extremely powerful and record-breaking extratropical cyclone that struck Ireland, the Isle of Man, and parts of the United Kingdom on 24 January 2025. Animating the wind speeds in #QGIS
