Storm Hannah - Posted: Sunday 28th April 2019 by Emyr MWT
Easter this year was the hottest on record.
Fast forward eggsactly a week and we experienced a ferocious Storm Force 10 weather event on the Dyfi with temperatures down to freezing and winds gusting over 80mph. And our friends overseas wonder why the Brits are always talking about the weather!
By Friday afternoon we knew that Telyn's clutch this year was going to be three eggs - same as last year.

Storm Hannah
Usually when we have storms, and named ones at that, in the UK, the media are all over them. Storm Hannah seems to have crept in without much fanfare - at least as far as I could tell.
The first I knew about Hannah was a comment by one of our followers on the DOP Facebook page on Friday morning. By Friday night, this storm was as serious as any storm I'd seen on the Dyfi.

As the sun went down everything seemed normal, just a bit gusty with winds up to 50mph forecast in the early hours.

By midnight, however, it was obvious Hannah was no 50mph storm. It was chillingly cold with wind speeds by now gusting over 60mph.
