Storm Éowyn Update - Schools and Early Learning and Childcare settings closed

All local authority nursery, primary, secondary, and special schools will be closed to all staff and pupils on Friday 24 January 2025. 

There will be no out-of-school care and Leisure and Culture facilities run out of any local authority educational establishments. 

This decision has been taken to ensure the safety of our young people and staff, particularly as they could be travelling home at the peak of the storm at the end of the school day.  

Families of school age children will be contacted directly by their school about home learning for Friday. 

Arrangements are being made for free school meal payments to be made directly to qualifying households. 

The Amber weather warning for wind affecting Dundee is in place from 6am to 9pm on Friday 24 January. 

Storm Éowyn is expected to have a significant impact on the city and surrounding areas, with the forecast predicting flying debris, travel disruption and possible risk to life. 

In light of the forecast, there may be disruption to other council services tomorrow. 

For the latest updates on all our services, please visit our Storm Éowyn page. Updates will also be posted on our social media channels, including Facebook and X.  

The Met Office forecast shows the potential for gusts more than 80mph across the city. You can follow the Met Office storm update page on their website for latest updates.
