Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin hit the UK over about 5 days, from 18 Feb 2022. Dudley hardly affected the London area. Eunice was definitely the worst.
As the storms were following each other from the west, and initially just the west had red warnings, I didn't expect London to be badly affected. But then red warnings were issued for London -
Eunice turned out to be not as bad as predicted, but still did a lot of damage. In my road, 2 large mature trees came down. One squashed a car -
And the beehives opposite my window suffered, several of them came apart. Don't know what happened to the bees, there was no sign of them. Luckily one of the beekeepers arrived the same morning and put the hives back together again but there was no sign of the bees flying around.
On Tue 22 I read an article in the Newsshopper about a London beekeeper who also had 40 of his 80 hives overturned and with the roofs off. He expects thousands of the bees to die as the bees were exposed to the rain.
Good old Brucie!
Storm Franklin wasn't too bad in London. Again it mostly hit the north.
