This week, Storm Goretti has smashed into Europe with gale-force winds 🌪️, heavy snow ❄️, and seriously low temps. From the UK’s wild coastlines to Germany’s icy roads, here’s what you need to know:
- UK on red alert: Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly face a rare red wind warning with gusts up to 160 km/h. Rail networks are bracing for cancellations—keep your tickets flexible and monitor updates.
- France schools closed: Northern coastal regions have shut schools and urged drivers to stay off slippery roads. If you’re out, drive slow or switch to indoor Netflix marathons 🍿.
- Germany gets frosty: Forecasts call for up to 15 cm of snow and temps dipping to -20 °C. Cities like Berlin and Munich are prepping for transport snarls—think icy tram tracks and delayed flights.
Experts warn that climate change is making winters more unpredictable. Storm Goretti is a wake-up call to stay prepped—whether that means weather apps on your phone or packing extra layers.
While we in South Asia and Southeast Asia dream of masala chai or a plate of nasi lemak, our European friends are bundling up in thermals 😂. Stay safe, share your storm snaps, and let’s hope for sunnier days soon! 🌏❤️
