Powerful Hurricane Humberto Threatens UK with Destructive Winds and Downpours

As of September 30th, 2025, a powerful Category 3 hurricane, Humberto, is barrelling across the Atlantic and appears firmly in the sights of the UK. The hurricane, with winds topping a terrifying 115mph, is currently interacting with another killer storm, Imelda, near Bermuda, where residents are bracing for devastating winds and perilous sea conditions.

Forecasters expect Humberto will be downgraded to a post-tropical storm later this week, but it could still leave a trail of damaging gusts and torrential downpours when it's expected to slam into the UK at the end of the week. According to a weather expert, the remnants of Humberto could lead to the first named storm of the season for Britain, which would be Storm Amy, and it could be a "big one" with 70mph winds and 30-60mm of rain.
