While the UK bakes, eyes are also on the Eastern Pacific, where Tropical Storm Erick is developing. It’s expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday and make landfall in southwestern Mexico on Thursday. Impacts include: Heavy rain Strong winds Storm surge While this system won’t affect

for most, with only scattered showers and mist. August ended with unsettled weather as low pressure brought outbreaks of rain, some heavy, to much of the country. The 25th and 26th saw increased rainfall along the west coast of the UK as the remnants of Hurricane Erin arrived. Temperatures returned

system (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2009. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging or even

Storm Amy, which formed as a distinct feature in the jet stream partly due to the interaction of Hurricane Imelda and Humberto in the Atlantic, will bring disruptive wind and heavy rain for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northwest England and northwest Wales from Friday afternoon

). A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 m.p.h. The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds of more than 73 m.p.h.

One of the most notable autumn storms of recent decades was 27 October 2002, while ex-hurricane Ophelia on 16 October 2017 also brought some very strong winds to western parts of the UK and Ireland.
