Gales and heavy rain to impact UK as yellow wind warning issued
A weather system containing the remnants of Hurricane Isaias is forecast to send gales, heavy rain and a surge of warm air to parts of the UK this week.
The centre of the low, and its most significant impacts, will stay hundreds of miles from UK shores but north-west Scotland will see a spell of gales.
A Met Office yellow warning has been issued for parts of the Highlands and Western Isles with the risk of gusts touching 70mph (113km/h) in places.
Heavy rain will also affect parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland but much of England and Wales will remain largely dry with spells of sunshine.
The area of low pressure will also send a renewed surge of warm air across the country bringing above-average temperatures for many.
The track of the storm means the UK will avoid the most significant impacts
Hurricane Isaias was the first Atlantic hurricane of the season and made landfall in the southern United States last Friday.
It weakened rapidly and ceased to be a hurricane but its remnants threw heavy rain across the eastern side of North America.
Since then, the leftovers have emerged over the Atlantic and been scooped up by a powerful jet stream.
This has developed a new area of low pressure that has been undergoing what meteorologists describe as explosive cyclogenesis, also referred to as a weather bomb.
