Tropical Storm Helene, which is currently in the mid-Atlantic, is expected
to track towards the UK over the next few days bringing a spell of windy
weather to many of us at the start of next week.
However as the storm travels across the Atlantic it will weaken, downgrading
from a tropical storm to an ex- tropical storm.
A Yellow National Severe Weather Warning has been issued for large parts of
the western UK as the storm is expected to affect the western side of the
country late on Monday, before clearing quickly to the north of Scotland
through Tuesday morning.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page said: “There remains large
uncertainty in the exact route Storm Helene will take, however, a spell of
very strong winds is expected, initially for parts of south-west England and
west Wales, then later south-west Scotland and the southeast of Northern
Ireland. Winds are likely to gust to 55-65 mph quite widely in the warning
area, with possible gusts of 70-80 mph in exposure”.
The storm will also bring some rain, the heaviest of which looks likely to
be restricted to the west side of the UK, as well as some warm tropical air,
meaning the south east of the country could see temperatures later in the
weekend and into the start of next week reaching the mid 20 Celsius.
Outside the warning area, there will be blustery conditions with increasing
amounts of cloud and rain. As Storm Helene clears, it will continue to be
windy with some bright or sunny spells.
