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.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: Published March 23, 2019 08:47:49 AM A report which has agreed to allocate £250,000 from the Berneslai Homes surplus to support work on an affordable warmth programme for private sector housing over the next three years has been approved. Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.
