Weather forecasters will be keeping a close eye on the behaviour of Hurricane Kirk over the coming days to see if and how it starts to interact with our jet stream and with other areas of low pressure in the North Atlantic.
If the storm’s remnants do head towards the UK, the impacts will vary hugely depending on its location, pressure and timing.
If the storm moves to our north, it may drag up some humid, tropical air and push our temperatures upwards. If the system tracks to our south, a colder spell of weather is possible, with the chance of blustery showers.
But if the storm tracks right across the UK, there is the potential for a spell of particularly wet, windy and possibly disruptive weather.
Keep up to date with our latest forecast and any warnings that may get issued nearer the time.
