We aren’t saying that summer is over, but if Hurricane Gaston has anything to do with it, it’s certainly going to feel like that.
The storm is brewing of the east coast of the United States and could well be with us by the end of the week.
It is presently off the coast of Bermuda and has been building up in strength since yesterday.
Wind speeds are currently registering at 105mph.
The hurricane was believed to be petering out on Saturday and was downgraded to a tropical storm, but has been regaining power.
While it’s unlikely to be keep its hurricane status if it arrives in the UK, we could see winds of 70mph.
A MeteoGroup forecaster said:’Hurricane Gaston is the latest hurricane to develop in the Atlantic and has reached its peak with gusts up to 85-90mph.
‘However, this system is expected to slowly weaken and track north-westwards.
‘It will eventually head north then north-eastwards towards to the UK as a low pressure system, potentially disrupting our weather next week, although confidence is very low on its exact track.’
Over the weekend, huge hail stones struck Oxfordshire, smashing greenhouses, while hail storms were also reported in the Midlands, Suffolk, Yorkshire and the Humber.
