The UK is set to be battered by winds of up to 55mph on Friday, the Met Office has warned.
Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said Britain will be experiencing some of its heaviest rain and strongest winds so far this autumn on Friday – while emphasising that the forecast weather is not unusual for the time of year.
“We are expecting the strong Atlantic jet stream to develop and push a deep area of low pressure across the Atlantic that will bring a spell of rain to the UK on Friday with some strong winds following.” Saturday is predicted to be an “unsettled” day with blustery showers and the chance of persistent rain along the south.
It is expected to be mostly dry across the country on Sunday before further unsettled conditions arrive in the northwest from Monday onwards.
