The huge storm is forecast to hit between Land’s End in the south west of England and Fraserburgh in the north east of Scotland, according to the latest weather maps
Weather maps have pinpointed the exact date a colossal 880-mile storm is set to batter the UK. The adverse weather is predicted to impact areas from Land’s End in the south west of England to Fraserburgh in the north east of Scotland, according to the latest weather maps.
On Saturday, September 27, the storm will lash the west coast and north of Wales, as well as the Midlands, parts of southern and northern England and central and southern Scotland, the maps suggest. Northern Ireland also appears to be in the firing line.
The Met Office forecast that, between September 24 and October 4, the settled weather of the previous few days will continue. The majority of those days will be dry, with light winds and sunny spells during the day.
However, there could be a risk of mist or isolated fog patches overnight. But “thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain may already be affecting the extreme northwest”.

Experts warn that over the coming weekend, there will be “a steadily increasing chance of this moving eastwards across more of the UK”, reports the Express. Eastern areas are expected to fare best.
The forecaster added: “Confidence in any breakdown to unsettled weather however is very low, influenced by ex-Hurricane Gabrielle, which may approach the UK during this time. The following week will most likely see a west to east split, with wettest weather remaining in western areas. Temperatures around to above average.”
The BBC said that Tuesday and Wednesday will be “largely dry days with variable cloud and sunny spells. Just the odd light shower in the far south-east on Tuesday, and locally elsewhere on Wednesday.
“Turning breezier in the north-west. A similar day on Thursday, with variable cloud, sunny spells, and just the odd spot of rain in the north-west. Temperatures increasing a little.”
This follows flooding chaos that battered the UK yesterday with further warnings issued. The severe weather wreaked havoc on the M62, forcing officials to shut a lane near Huddersfield. Meanwhile in Salford, an entire street disappeared underwater after flood warnings were issued across Greater Manchester.
