Tornado alerts have been issued for six UK regions
A new Met Office map shows which areas of the UK are potentially 'at risk' of being hit by torrential wind and rain brought by the remnant of Hurricane Kirk as it sweeps across the Atlantic toward Europe. Heavy wind and rain is set to batter parts of England, Wales and Scotland this week. Although forecasters say the storm will have lost its hurricane strength by the time it reaches the UK, unsettled weather has been forecast in the aftermath of Hurricane Kirk.
The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation has highlighted that isolated tornadoes could emerge as a result of these strengthening winds, particularly in central and southern England. Chris Bulmer, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office said: “Kirk over the North Atlantic will lose its status as a hurricane early next week before being swept towards northwest Europe.
