UK Faces Autumn's First Storm as Hurricanes Approach

As of September 30th, 2025, the UK is bracing for a bout of severe weather as the remnants of two powerful Atlantic hurricanes, Humberto and Imelda, are set to impact the region this weekend.

The Met Office has issued a 37-hour yellow rain warning for western Scotland, effective from 5 pm on Thursday until 6 am on Friday. Forecasters warn that villages in the affected areas could become cut off due to the "pretty incredible rainfall totals" of up to 10 inches (250mm) expected over the highest ground.

However, the unsettled conditions are not limited to just Scotland. Meteorologists say there is a risk of the wet and windy weather spreading more widely across the UK from late Thursday, as the influence of Humberto and Imelda increases the chances of a deep low-pressure system developing near the country.
