🌧️🌪️Hold onto your umbrellas, Wales! As Hurricane Gabrielle makes its way across the Atlantic, we’re bracing for some wet and wild weather this weekend. According to the Met Office, heavy rain is set to drench much of Wales on Saturday afternoon. But don’t worry, the storm should clear by Sunday afternoon, with brighter skies moving in from the west. 🌦️
Although Gabrielle is expected to downgrade from hurricane status by the time she reaches our shores, her impact could still stir things up in the days ahead. 🌀
Next week, drier and more settled conditions are likely, but showers and longer spells of rain may still pop up now and then, especially in the northwest. The breeze is also expected to pick up in these areas. Elsewhere, you might just enjoy some extended spells of sunshine with the odd misty morning. ☀️🌫️
Looking further ahead into October, the UK could see a mix of slow-moving weather patterns. Expect a blend of high and low pressure keeping things changeable. There’s a chance for windier days as we sail through early October, but temperatures should hover around normal for this time of year. 🍂🌬️
Meteorologist Nick Finnis shared on the Netweather blog that Hurricane Gabrielle slides its way past Bermuda, boosting the jet stream and setting a more unsettled scene over Western Europe. As it powers through with winds recently peaking at 140mph, be mindful around surf zones for dangerous rip currents. 🌊
Keep an eye on the skies and take care! 👀☔
