UK's weather forecast

Met Office warnings for wind are in place across Wednesday and Thursday, with up to 70mph gales expected to hit some areas of the UK. This is due to an Atlantic system, bringing the strong winds and blustery showers to England and Wales by midweek, Express reported.

Temperatures will also dive, with conditions expected to plunge in some areas. Rain could turn to snow in some areas, especially over coasts and hills.

Chief Meteorologist Andy Page, said: “After the recent settled spell the weather will turn more unsettled this week with strong winds and rain. Yellow weather warnings for wind are in force."

“The second of two areas of low pressure is likely to bring the most widespread strong winds, with gusts of 55mph widely across England and Wales later on Wednesday and Thursday, with gusts up to 70mph in exposed western locations.”

Heavy rain is also forecast to soak large parts of the country this week. The Environment Agency has issued several flood alerts, with one flood warning in place as well as 17 flood alerts in England. The warnings are in place from 9pm on Wednesday until 3pm on Thursday, with all of England and Wales covered.

The Met Office warns: “Gusts of 50 to 55 mph are possible inland, especially close to showers. Gusts may reach 60 to 70 mph on coasts and hills, especially in the west, before gradually easing on Thursday afternoon.”

Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said of the stormy weather: “This is a fairly major system which we expect to affect the UK from Tuesday into Wednesday, it may be something we issue a warning for. We are expecting severe gale-force gusts in exposed regions later on Tuesday and into Wednesday."

“This system, which is a double-barrelled low-pressure organisation, has got some venom and is going to keep people on their toes."

Now the RLNI has issued an urgent warning for anyone near the coast as the dangerous winds hit.

The lifesaving charity are encouraging people to exercise extreme caution if visiting the shoreline, especially along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers, if local government guidelines allow them to visit the coast.

Gareth Morrison, RNLI Head of Water Safety, said: “During lockdown, RNLI lifeboats and stations remain operational and will launch around the clock where there is risk to life.

BBC Weather forecaster Helen Willetts warned of severe weather across Europe over the coming days. She noted that the continent would see flooding, snow, severe gales, and heavy rain. Orange warnings have been issued for Italy as they experience thunderstorms and heavy rain.

Ms Willetts said: "Stormy weather is powering its way towards north-western Europe. We are expecting a spell of gales or severe gale force winds in the coming few days. The first wave is coming in on Tuesday night, the second one is coming in as a deeper area of low pressure with even stronger winds."

The BBC Weather forecaster noted that throughout the rest of Europe there would also be stormy weather. She noted that parts of western Europe would experience flooding while central parts can expect heavy rain and thunderstorms. She continued: "This low-pressure further south is giving a lot of wet weather through the central Mediterranean. There will be some flash flooding across southern Spain. There will be orange warnings issue out from Tuesday through parts of Italy and the Balkans."

"This will be persisting through the Balkans down towards Greece on Wednesday, spiralling further southwards. What is interesting about this is it is pulling down much colder air having been quite mild last week. It turns much colder through Finland, Scandinavia and the Balkans."

"We can expect some fairly significant mountain snow here and heavy rains at lower levels. We can also expect some more flash flooding on Thursday, the same system that has been impacting southern Spain. So by Thursday, we have got some of the strongest winds barreling in across the UK and then into Scandinavia. This will be accompanied by heavy rain and snow, certainly over the hills."
