Heavy rain and 60mph winds are set to batter the UK amid the fallout from the United States' Hurricane Ian.
The Met Office warned the fallout from Hurricane Ian on Florida's southwest coast will be felt across the Atlantic. It fell just short of a Category 5 status but felt top winds of 155mph.
The North West is to expect a scattering of showers from Thursday onwards with the weekend ushering in heavy rain through until Monday. Flooding may affect parts of the country on Friday after torrential downpours, while a jet stream bringing low pressure will swoop in from the west coast, leading to possible wind damage.
