“Unusually windy” weather could bring 55 mph gusts to the UK this week

Britain could suffer winds of up to 55 mph and heavy rain this week as the remnants of a tropical storm approach.

Forecasters predict a more uncertain outlook for parts of the country later this week.

The showers will reach the south-west of the UK, the south of Scotland and Northern Ireland from Tuesday evening and continue until Wednesday morning.

They will then move east across the country, with the possibility of thunderstorms in the northern areas.

“The weather seems to be changing this week, and it could become very windy for Friday, especially in the northwest,” Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said.

“Extropical storm Alex, which caused flooding in South Florida, will cross the Atlantic in the coming days as a deep low-pressure area.

“There is still some uncertainty about how close this low – pressure system will be and, therefore, how strong the winds will be.

“At the moment it looks like it will be close enough to the UK on Friday to bring unusually strong winds for June, especially in the north-west.”

“The deep low pressure area will weaken as it moves north towards the Faroe Islands over the weekend, with winds slowly descending across the UK,” he added.

Meteor’s Deputy Chief Meteorologist Adam Thornhill said: They are working out the details, with winds as high as 45 mph for most of them in the north of the UK, with the possibility of gusts of more than 55 mph on some islands and exposed coastal areas in the north. west “.

The weekend seems to be a more mixed theme, with sun and showers in equal parts across the UK.

Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said: “The best of any kind will be in the south of the UK.

“The strongest winds will be in the far north of the UK, but they will not be as strong as those on Thursday and Friday.”
