Nuneaton Hospital's 'Stay Home' Plea Ahead of Storm Goretti
Storm Goretti brings heavy rain, winds up to 90mph, and snow causing travel and health hazards, with extended cold alerts issued by UK Health Security Agency.
- On Thursday, the Met Office issued a rare red warning in place until 11pm as Storm Goretti, the first named UK weather system of 2026, brought dangerous, stormy winds to southern England.
- The BBC reported the system would qualify as a 'weather bomb' after a 36 millibar pressure drop from 6pm Wednesday to 6pm Thursday, exceeding the 24 millibar threshold and raising warnings its winds could surpass storms Ciaran and Eunice.
- Power networks reported tens of thousands of customers without electricity across the South West this evening, with more than 47,000 properties affected, over 5,000 in the West Midlands, and 2,000 in Wales.
- From 6pm on Thursday, Network Rail suspended all trains in Cornwall and urged earlier travel; dozens of schools closed early and many remain shut Friday under amber warnings until January 12.
- Make sure your view is 100% clear before setting off, and leave 10-12 metres on icy roads, authorities advise, to prevent fines and accidents.
