Mini Storm to hit UK
The Met Office warned of unsettled weather over the weekend, before potentially disruptive conditions from midweek brought about by the remnant of the extreme storm as it sweeps towards north-west Europe.
Hurricane Kirk is maintaining category 4 strength in the central north Atlantic Ocean. Chris Bulmer, the Met Office’s deputy chief meteorologist, said: “Kirk over the north Atlantic will lose its status as a hurricane early next week before being swept towards north-west Europe.
“The resulting low-pressure system will still have the potential to bring disruptive rain and winds to some areas, including parts of the UK, from the middle of next week. There remains much detail to work out on the exact track and timing of the system.
The weather for the weekend looks promising
The weather for the weekend looks promising for some of Britain. A mix of sunshine and showers is expected for many over the weekend. A fine day for England and much of Wales is expected on Saturday, although there may be outbreaks of rain elsewhere, according to the Met Office.
In Ireland and Scotland the weekend, we will still see those outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland and across parts of Scotland, generally easing across the Scottish borders by the time we reach the afternoon.
Elsewhere, there’ll be plenty of that bright sunshine and it will be feeling warm and there will be lighter winds in that sunshine too. it will be a warm and pleasant 17C to 18C for the time of year
The Met Office said a band of rain, which could be heavy at times, will form part of a blustery Sunday that has sunny spells and heavy showers and top temperatures of about 18C.
