Birmingham braces for strong winds and heavy rain as a powerful jet stream approaches, with gusts expected to reach 55mph this weekend.
Starting Saturday, the Met Office warns of an unsettled weather period. They even mentioned the chance of a named storm. So, it’s best to stay alert!
Yellow weather alerts are already out for parts of the UK. These warnings will be in effect from Friday to Saturday. Northwestern Scotland is particularly in the line of fire.
But Birmingham isn’t off the hook. Weather maps show gusts could hit the city on Friday. They might peak around 6am, reaching up to 55.9mph. That’s pretty intense!
Chris Almond, the Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said a deep low-pressure system is coming. It’s going to bring some disruptive weather through Friday and Saturday.
Winds will start picking up Thursday night, especially in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Heavy rain is also expected, making things even more uncomfortable.
So, keep an eye on the forecast and stay updated with the Met Office warnings. It looks like the end of the week will be quite a ride!
