Wet and windy weather later this week
There’s some wet and windy weather on the way this week, with Storm Austen expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds from Thursday night, 22 October, into Friday 23 October.
The Met Office currently expects the strongest winds on Friday morning, particularly in southern areas, with exposed coasts likely to see the highest gusts. A yellow wind warning has been issued for parts of the UK. The storm’s exact path is still being assessed, so it’s worth checking the local forecast as the week goes on.
Before Thursday evening, a few simple preparations may help:
- Put away or secure loose garden furniture, pots and bins.
- Charge phones and keep a torch somewhere handy.
- Check travel updates before setting off.
- Give a neighbour a hand if they need help getting ready.
- The Everleigh Emergency Plan is available here
Conditions should improve later on Friday, and Saturday may start drier and brighter in many places. Further rain and strong winds are expected from Saturday night into Sunday, so keep the forecast in mind when making weekend plans.
