The UK is set to be battered by "unseasonably" strong winds later this week, as the remnants of a tropical storm heads our way.
Weather forecasters are warning of 45mph gusts as the tail end of Storm Alex, which caused disruption across Florida at the weekend, arrives in the UK on Thursday. The tropical storm produced heavy rainfall over the weekend in several regions of the US, including Miami, which reportedly experienced 5.24in of rain.
The Met Office said ex-tropical storm Alex will bring high winds in areas of the UK, starting on Thursday. On Friday, winds will begin to strengthen across the UK and some showers are to move into the western parts, particularly Northern Ireland, western Scotland and parts of northern England.
