Hurricane Nigel's projected path shows its tail end will hit the UK.

The UK is bracing itself for yet more severe weather conditions as the tail end of Hurricane Nigel approaches. The National Hurricane Center has reported that the storm has intensified to a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of 111mph. While the cyclone is expected to lose some momentum as it gets closer to landfall, the UK will still face strong winds and torrential downpours.

Hurricane Nigel is currently heading east towards northern Europe, and is projected to reach the UK by Friday morning. Although the hurricane won’t make direct landfall, its effects will still be felt. Grahame Madge, a spokesman for the Met Office, has warned that the UK will experience higher rainfall rates and stronger winds as a result of the storm. In fact, four Met Office yellow weather warnings are already in place for wind and rain across the UK.

The aftermath of Hurricane Lee is still fresh in our minds, with Devon and Somerset being the worst hit areas. Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just 24 hours, while Exeter Airport and Paignton Zoo were forced to close due to flooding. A house in Dorset also burst into flames after it was hit by lightning.

Given the consequences of Hurricane Lee, it’s important that we all take the necessary precautions to stay safe in the face of Hurricane Nigel. Drivers have been warned to take extra care on the roads, as high speed winds and rain can make driving conditions treacherous. Everyone should also be prepared for possible travel disruption. By taking the right precautions, we can hopefully limit the amount of damage caused by the storm.
