The UK will face "unseasonably" strong winds later this week, with forecasters warning of 45mph gusts as the remnants of a tropical storm lash the country. The Met Office said that Thursday will see ex-tropical storm Alex bringing high winds in areas of the UK.
Storm Alex caused disruption across Florida, producing heavy rainfall over the weekend in several regions, including Miami, which reportedly experienced 5.24in of rain. From Thursday, weaker rain will move from west to east, with ex-tropical storm Alex bringing low pressure.
On Friday, winds will begin to strengthen across the UK and some showers are to move into the western parts of the UK, particularly the north-west of the UK, which includes Northern Ireland, western Scotland and parts of northern England.
