Hurricane Gabrielle, now upgraded to a dangerous category three, is forecasted to cause disruption across the Atlantic. With wind speeds reaching approximately 120mph over the warm Atlantic waters, the storm seems to be moving away from land. Impacting Bermuda and the East Coast of the United States from North Carolina to Canada, the storm’s effects are already being felt.
In the UK, the aftermath of the storm is anticipated to affect the weather starting on Friday, according to the Met Office. The weather experts project a continuation of the settled conditions observed in recent days through Friday for most regions. From Friday to Sunday, October 5, the forecast indicates dry weather for the majority, with light winds and sunny intervals during the day, and a possibility of mist or isolated fog patches overnight.
However, uncertainty looms as thicker cloud cover and rain may approach from the Atlantic, influenced by ex-Hurricane Gabrielle. The UK could experience rain and potentially strong winds, particularly in western regions, in the following week. Temperatures are expected to be around to above average during this period.
The Met Office stated that this afternoon’s weather will be pleasant overall, with the possibility of some showers in Kent. Most areas will remain dry with ample sunshine, although northern and eastern regions may experience slightly cloudier conditions with coastal showers. Temperatures will be below average but comfortable in the sunshine.
Tonight, clear skies will lead to a widespread grass frost as temperatures drop, while patchy clouds in the east may bring occasional showers. Tomorrow is set to begin with a cool start, followed by a fine day with sunny skies for many regions. Some patchy clouds and a chance of heavy showers are expected in Kent.
