Storm Eunice hits Bromyard

Friday saw high winds and rain showers hit Bromyard with the arrival of Storm Eunice. Gusts of wind of up to 66mph were recorded in the area, although the town seemed to miss the worst of it with the south of England affected the most.

Gusts of around 122mph were recorded on the Isle of Wight.

Several fallen trees caused temporary road closures and there were reports of a caravan blown over into the road on the A44 between Bromyard & Worcester.

With heavy rain forecast for much of Saturday floods may also become an issue with river levels already extremely high.
