One forecaster is predicting jet stream winds of 250mph describing it as a 'beast' that will bring an area of low pressure to the UK next weekend
The Met Office has warned people to prepare for the "strongest winds of the year" with potential for the next named storm.
Forecasters in the UK are warning that this could bring some "disruptive" weather by the end of the week. The next named storm would be Storm Éowyn – pronounced Eh-oh-wyn – and would be the first of 2025. BBC Weather forecasters say: "The Atlantic jet stream reaches extraordinary strength next week with 250mph winds. Some very quick flights travelling between the US and UK with these tailwinds. This powerful jet stream develops an intense low with gusts over 100mph over the sea to the west of the UK."
"There will be 250mph winds in this beast and that is going to mean some very quick aeroplane journeys crossing the Atlantic. It will also power an incredibly deep area of low pressure. The low will have in excess of 100mph in it. Thankfully it looks like the strongest winds will stay away from our shores but we will have to keep a close eye on it.
