Health & safety | What HR should know about Storm Dudley

In the wake of Storm Dudley, the UK has experienced treacherous weather conditions and strong gusts of wind for the last few days.

The BBC reported that thousands of people in the north-east of England, North Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire were left without power and, in Scotland, all trains were said to be cancelled last night.

Yet, it seems that the poor weather is not quite over as people now brace themselves for a second storm, Storm Eunice.

In a statement posted to the Met Office’s site, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Frank Saunders, said: “Significant disruption is possible from both Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice with strong winds one of the main themes of the current forecast. The most impactful winds from Dudley will be in the north on Wednesday afternoon, as shown in the amber warning area.
