Storm Antoni could hit Wales as Met Office warns of deepening Atlantic low pressure

Make the most of the bank holiday sunshine while it lasts as a storm could be on the way. Forecasters are closely watching a deepening Atlantic low that could bring some stormy conditions to the UK.

Welsh forecaster Derek Brockway says that if it develops we could see the first named storm of the season - Storm Antoni. The storms list – first launched in 2015 – for each year generally runs from early September until late August the following year, coinciding with the beginning of autumn. See the current full list here. It would be late in the season to have the first named storm.

The BBC Wales forecaster says: "A deepening Atlantic low could bring a dose of wet and very windy weather next week. Uncertainty at this stage in the depth and exact track the low will take but one to watch. Could it be named Storm Antoni the first on the met Office 22/23 list? Stay tuned!"
