Remnants of a US hurricane heading towards the Gulf Coast could be carried across the Atlantic by the jet stream, potentially bringing stormy conditions to the UK by mid-week.
Remnants of a US hurricane heading towards the Gulf Coast could be picked up by the jet stream and carried across the Atlantic, potentially bringing stormy conditions to the UK by mid-week. The hurricane is expected to lose most of its tropical characteristics before it reaches the Atlantic. ITV Good Morning Britain meteorologist Laura Tobin said the system could bring tropical air towards the UK and contribute to 'stormy conditions' by the middle of next week.
The Met Office's long-range forecast for 13 to 22 October predicts a changeable spell across the UK as a series of low-pressure systems cross the North Atlantic, bringing occasional rain and strong winds. Southern and eastern parts of the country, including Suffolk, are more likely to see longer dry spells than western areas, though even these regions are expected to be wetter than in recent weeks. Temperatures could also become 'quite warm' in parts of the southeast early in the period, with Wednesday 14 October forecast to reach 19°C and Thursday 18°C.
The Met Office stresses that forecasts become more certain closer to the date, and the eventual track and impact of Atlantic low pressure will become clearer over the coming days.
