With the August Bank Holiday approaching in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, reports suggest that Hurricane Erin may bring unsettled conditions. Hurricane Erin is a major storm that could bring a massive amount of rain to the UK in the next week.
Ahead of this, this year’s summer could be the hottest on record, and high pressure is in charge. The high pressure is located to the north-west of Scotland, prompting cooler temperatures, cloudier conditions, and frequent showers at times.
Today, those showers could be heavy in the far southwest of England this afternoon. Although it is expected that hurricane Erin will not make a direct hit to land, the rains caused by Erin have already started to hit the south-eastern Bahamas, the Caicos Islands, and the Turks. At these locations, a tropical weather warning has been initiated.
As per some media outlets, a 600-mile wall of rain will hit the United Kingdom as a result of hurricane Erin.
Inland and Western areas will experience sunny spells, and the best of the brightness is expected in central-southern regions, as well as western parts of the UK. Along the eastern and southern coastal areas, breezy conditions are expected.
The temperature will vary, with the sunnier areas of southeastern and central-southern England may reach 23 to 15 degrees C. It is expected that, due to clouds, the south-west part of England will reach 19 degrees C.
As the week progresses, the high pressure will stretch more widely from the north because a cold front is moving southwards. This phenomenon initiates a slight clearing of clouds and the arrival of sunnier skies. In spite of the enhanced brightness, the temperature will remain modest because of the cooler airflow and lower humidity levels.
As England heads into the bank Holiday weekend, high pressure continues to dominate, bringing a modest and pleasant weather likely into Saturday and Sunday. The weak regions of low pressure in the Atlantic may bring showers in the upcoming weekend.
There is a high chance for things to turn the weather condition much unsettled towards the latter part of the weekend, as per Hurricane Erin’s track report. The Deputy Chief Meteorologist Stephen Kocjher explained that a key feature to watch in the upcoming days is Hurricane Erin. he further added that the storm is a Category three storm to the east of the Bahamas. They are closely watching the storm’s track; there is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast. However, it is possible to experience some wet and windy weather for the last week of August.
