Met Office: Heavy rain to spread northwards<\/h3>\n

Britain is set to be battered by a “destructive” band of wind with gusts up to 100mph hitting parts of the south coast, an amateur weather forecaster has said.<\/p>\n

The weather fan took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their outlook for Thursday (November 2), predicting gusts of 80mph in the south west.<\/p>\n

Tweeting from an account named London & Southeast @TheSnowDreamer wrote on the platform: “A destructive band of 100mph gusts in English Channel licking south coast with worst near Solent. Widely exceeding 80mph in Cornwall and parts of Devon. A very disruptive event with trees still top heavy.”<\/p>\n

Weather expert Phil Morrish told Express.co.uk<\/span>: “A powerful storm is heading for the UK on Thursday. It’s going to develop on Tuesday and then rush across the Atlantic on a powerful jet stream (high altitude winds blowing at 200mph). It will then cross the British Isles during Thursday, probably across Wales then the Midlands to Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n

“The central pressure could be down to 957mbs similar to the great storm of 1987. Winds around the southern edge of the storm could reach 80mph.<\/p>\n

“The areas worst affected could be southwest England, southern counties and the south east with storm force winds reaching these figures. Its exact position may change slightly, as could its shape, but a significant storm is likely.”<\/p>\n

Ireland’s Met Eireann has already issued a weather warning for stormy conditions with experts identifying the potential for the third named storm of the season, Storm Ciaran.<\/p>\n

Weather maps show gusts pushing 100mph in parts of southern Britain at 2am on Thursday with much of Kent, Sussex, Dorset and Hampshire affected by strong winds by 6am.<\/p>\n

A chart produced by WX Charts using MetDesk data generated on Sunday (October 29) shows the Devon coast being battered by gusts in excess of 100mph.<\/p>\n

However, another chart generated by Netweather shows winds reaching 60mph in the English Channel on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists from the Met Office have said it is too soon to give a more precise forecast. The agency’s outlook for next week is for Britain’s unsettled weather to continue, though heavier showers are more likely over England and Wales.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a chance of a deep area of low pressure bringing some further wet and windy weather from the middle of next week.<\/p>\n

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tony Wardle said: “While the start of next week will see this unsettled theme to the weather continue, there\u2019s increasing confidence of a deep area of low pressure influencing the UK\u2019s weather from the west, bringing a more concerted period of wet and windy weather.<\/p>\n
