The Met Office said the week ahead could see disruptive rain and wind for some as Hurricane Kirk approaches Europe. But the weather system is set to be downgraded.
The UK is set to be blasted by strong winds and heavy rain next week as Hurricane Kirk moves across the Atlantic Ocean. The weather system strengthened into a category 4 storm on Friday and its remnants threaten to bring a spell of unsettled conditions, with temperatures forecast to fall. While the hurricane is expected to be downgraded by the time it reaches Europe, the Met Office has said it poses a threat of disruptive rain and wind for some after a mild weekend.
The Met Office said in its long-range forecast from 9 October to 18 October that Scotland and Northern Ireland 'are more likely to quickly turn colder with showers, and the colder weather will most likely gradually work its way south'. 'A more settled interlude is then possible but further spells of wind and rain, again with a focus across southern areas, are likely to arrive from the west during the following week with temperatures returning to around average,' it said.
