Hurricane Gonzalo: When will it hit the UK and how strong will it be?
The remains of Hurricane Gonzalo will hit the UK tonight, bringing gales and torrential rain lasting into Tuesday for much of the country.
Forecasters at the Met Office have issued a yellow warning for Tuesday, predicting travel disruption as gusts of 50mph bring tree branches down and surface water floods roads.
The highest winds, up to 70 mph, are expected at the coast on Tuesday but will fade into Wednesday.
Gonzalo is rolling in from the Atlantic, where it has caused flooding and widespread damage in Bermuda.
Gonzalo is no longer a hurricane, having weakened during its journey across the Atlantic, but is still capable of doing damage.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Some uncertainty remains in the track and intensity, but there remains the potential for localised disruption to travel, especially as the strongest winds will coincide with rush hour in places".
