Overview

  • The Met Office says dissipating systems linked to Hurricane Erin and Tropical Storm Fernand will send low pressure toward the UK this weekend.
  • A yellow warning for rain covers parts of the country, with the heaviest conditions expected on Saturday.
  • Forecasts call for 10–20mm of heavy rain in places and gusts exceeding 50 mph on coasts and high ground.
  • Meteorologist Alex Burkill explains the Atlantic lows are set to amalgamate along the jet stream before arriving as a relatively deep area of low pressure.
  • Conditions should ease somewhat on Sunday with some brightness returning and temperatures near average into Monday.
