BRITS face the prospect of being battered by a period of miserable wind and rain as the remains of the Atlantic storm hit later this week.
Another phase of grim conditions is likely to arrive on Friday as wet weather sweeps in from the north, hitting southern England by Saturday.
The situation is caused by an area of low pressure caused by the tropical storms over the Atlantic pushing the adverse weather our way.
Daniel Rudman, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office said: "On Friday it looks as though a deeper area of low pressure will move into the northwest of the UK.
"This means that many can expect a more notably wet and windy spell, for a time on Friday, than we’ve seen so far this autumn. However, this is nothing unusual for the time of year.
"At this time of year, knock-on effects from the Atlantic tropical cyclone season can lower confidence when forecasting more than a few days ahead, and so the exact timings for rainfall and wind strengths for Friday may vary throughout the week.”
