Storm Erin Update as Met Office Issues Caution over 'Strong Wind and Rain' After Heatwave - Liverpool Echo

Tropical Storm Erin may bring heavy rain, strong winds, and thundery conditions to southern and western UK regions between August 19 and 28, the Met Office said.

  • On Saturday, Hurricane Erin reached Category 5 with winds of 160 mph, and its remnants are forecast to influence UK weather from 19-28 August.
  • Uncertainty stems from the jet stream’s behaviour, as it can meander and loop, affecting Erin’s position relative to the North Atlantic and the United Kingdom.
  • Following Erin’s passage, Cape Verde authorities declared a state of emergency on São Vicente and Santo Antão, evacuating around 1,500 residents and reporting nine fatalities.
  • Looking at the long-range forecast between Tuesday, August 19, and August 28, the Met Office warned that forecast details carry low confidence and Atlantic lows could bring stronger winds and rain.
  • Next week, Erin’s remains will pass north of Scotland, with forecasts indicating increased wind and rain from the Atlantic, despite low confidence in specifics.
