Met Office UK weather: Wet and windy weather to hit as October begins

Looks like we are in for more heavy rain and strong winds along with sunny spells this weekend. While avoiding Hurricane Ian on the other side of the Atlantic, the UK has been suffering a knock-on effect with a low pressure sitting over the country bringing blustery conditions on Friday.

The Category 4 hurricane in Florida saw 150mph winds batter the coast ripping up homes and turning roads into rivers. In the UK, gusts of 94mph were recorded on Cairn Gorm in the Scottish Highlands where the strongest winds and heaviest rain took place.

The outlook for the weekend is for more blustery showers. But there should also be spells of sunshine and temperatures could rise to 19C, The Mirror reports.
