Storm Éowyn
posted 22nd January 2025
Are you storm-ready?
Storm Éowyn is likely to hit on Friday and Saturday, forecasting strong winds and heavy rain for much of the UK. This storm will bring a period of very unsettled, potentially disruptive weather* – so we’re asking you to view the storm advice on the Ageas Storm Hub over the next few days.
Helping you understand storm risks.
These storm criteria will help you understand how insurers classify a storm, and the circumstances in which you could make a claim for storm damage.
What's covered during a storm? What's not?
These storm-proofing articles will help you prepare before a storm hits. But it’s important to remind our customers what’s not covered in the event they are affected by a storm. These typically include:
- Fences
- Gates
- Swimming Pools
- Hot Tub Covers
Reducing the risk of damage to cars
You could be forgiven for thinking your home is most at risk during a storm, but there’s also a risk of damage to vehicles. We encourage you to:
Park your car in a safe space away from potential hazards (like falling trees/branches)
Move bins into a sheltered area, away from your car and weigh down if possible
Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary, but if you do need to drive, ensure you have an emergency kit in the car
