Scotland 's bright autumn days are set to be swept away by the end of this week, as parts of the country will see "strong" gale force winds and heavy rain.
The Met Office warned that the weather is a result of the after effects of hurricane Ian, which is set to hit parts of Florida in the US this Wednesday. This stormy weather will begin in the northwest before gradually moving southwards.
On Thursday there will be some sunny spells with scattered showers before the jet stream, strengthened by the warm tropical air pushed northwards by the category four storm, sweeps an area of low pressure across the UK on Friday.
