Storm & Winter Essentials

Named storms, heavy snow and flooding bring disruption every winter. This collection gathers the kit that helps: torches and lanterns for power cuts, radios for updates, power banks, warm layers and blankets, hand warmers and car winter kits with shovels, ice scrapers and high-vis. Prepare before the season starts – check your torch batteries, put a blanket and water in the car and keep a small storm kit somewhere easy to find. Sign up for flood warnings in your area and keep an eye on Met Office weather warnings. A few inexpensive items now can make a long, cold night much easier.
