US EditionHurricane Erin Set to Bring Gales and Downpours to UK Next Week - Liverpool Echo
Storm Erin follows a heatwave, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to southern UK, with the Met Office warning of increasingly widespread impacts later this month.
- Meteorologist Marco Petagna from the Met Office has indicated that by late Sunday, August 24, the UK is likely to experience rainy and blustery conditions, with the possibility of heavy rainfall.
- This follows the intense storm Erin, which reached category 3 strength and was located northeast of the Bahamas, weakening from 140 mph to 120 mph as it tracked across the Atlantic.
- The Met Office linked a developing deep low-pressure area in the North Atlantic to Erin, causing changeable conditions and monitoring potential rainfall warnings nearer the time.
- Petagna noted that the hurricane's remaining effects are unlikely to influence the UK before the start of next week, though there remains some uncertainty about the eventual outcome.
- Authorities declared a state of emergency in Cape Verde after the storm killed nine people and forced 1,500 evacuations, while the UK prepares for intense winds and heavy rain in late August.
