A hurricane called Ernesto has been battering Bermuda and the east coast of America but it won't be exactly the same beast when it barrels across the West Midlands, says the Met Office.The message from the Exeter-based meteorologists is to enjoy whatever sunshine we have left on Sunday and to start with on Monday - but to be prepared for rain and wind.
He added: “Although August is usually associated with fine and settled weather, wet and windy weather such as this aren’t uncommon, as seen in previous years.” Tuesday will see a temporary return to bright and breezy conditions with scattered showers, some of which will be heavy.A yellow rain warning is already in place for Wednesday and Thursday for parts of western Scotland.
Gusts are expected to approach 50-60mph, which could bring some coastal impacts, especially during the high spring tide.
