The Met Office has issued an update on Storm Erin as the UK braces for strong winds and rain following the recent heatwave. The week witnessed soaring temperatures across the country, drawing crowds to beaches and parks. Manchester saw highs of 25C on Sunday and reached 30C on Wednesday. London peaked at 33.4C on Tuesday. While temperatures tapered off, the southwest hit 30C on Saturday. Manchester is forecasted to stay warm, but Storm Erin threatens to bring adverse weather to the UK, following its impact on Cape Verde. Authorities declared an emergency after nine fatalities and evacuations. The storm is expected to hit the Leeward Islands or the US East Coast, influencing UK weather later in the month. The Met Office warns of intense winds and rain, with temperatures likely to stay above average. Tropical Storm Erin’s path across the North Atlantic remains uncertain, affecting the UK’s weather pattern. As the forecast progresses, UK weather may be influenced by tropical systems, impacting wind and rain conditions.
