when is storm dave coming

Storm Dave is expected later on Saturday and into Easter Sunday , with the strongest impacts likely starting Saturday evening in northern parts of the UK and Ireland. The current reports point to disruptive wind, with some areas also seeing snow and travel delays.

Quick Scoop

• Timing: Saturday into Sunday, with warnings beginning around 2:00 PM BST on Saturday in some areas.

• Most affected areas: Northern Ireland, Scotland, north Wales, and parts of northern England.

• Main risks: Strong winds, possible power outages, travel disruption, and some snow in higher Scottish areas.

What to watch

Forecasts suggest the system will rapidly deepen as it approaches from the Atlantic, which is why the weather alerts are being updated. If you’re in a warned area, keep an eye on the latest local forecast and transport updates through the weekend.

Forum-style take

“Looks like Saturday evening is the rough window, not just a brief blow- through.”

That’s the practical takeaway: it’s shaping up to be a weekend storm , not a same-day passing shower system.
