Britain will be blasted by 60mph winds, rain and chilly temperatures as wild weather takes hold at end of the week, according to weather forecasters.
A quiet day on Thursday will make way for a stormy Friday, according to the Met Office, when remnants of Hurricane Ian from across the Atlantic combine with tropical air from the jet stream to begin a low pressure period.
Heavy rain will move down the British Isles from the northeast, accompanied by gale-force winds that could reach highs of 60mph locally.
