Jersey Met is forecasting the potential for persistent rain, heavy at times from early
morning on Friday and again on Sunday into Monday, which may cause localised flooding
around the Island.
While not unusual for this time of year, high winds reaching up to gale F8 could mean trees
and debris on the roads. With the centre of Storm Éowyn crossing Ireland, winds around
the Channel Islands are expected to peak around 7am on Friday morning.
As a precaution, the Infrastructure and Environment department has been clearing drains
today and raising the level of preparedness.
The exact location of the heaviest rain is uncertain, but it will be over or close to the
Channel Islands. There could be heavy bursts from early morning on Friday.
Although there is uncertainty about the risk of flooding, public advice on how to prepare
can be found via: Flooding: how to prepare, cope and clean up (gov.je).
Jersey Met along with colleagues from across Government, Jersey Water, Andium and the
Parishes will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates.
