People are being warned North Atlantic hurricanes could impact weekend weather in the UK. As Met Office experts say this week’s repeating pattern of blustery showers will break for a time over the weekend, bringing many a drier day on Saturday.
However, there is continued uncertainty stemming from the interaction of the two successive tropical cyclones and how they will affect weather patterns on our side of the Atlantic. Paul Gundersen, a Met Office Chief Forecaster, said: “The influence of low pressure - with associated thunderstorms and bouts of heavy rain - will continue to dominate this week, especially on Friday. Though the low pressure will finally move eastwards on Saturday, meaning that many will have a dry day with some sunshine.
“There is a risk of potentially very heavy rain for a time on Friday for eastern and north-east England and southern Scotland. Adding in the risk of thunderstorms - which could bring gusty winds and heavy downpours where they form - many can expect an unsettled week.
