Brace yourselves! A savage storm is set to slam the South Coast with 80mph winds in the next 48 hours. The Met Office is cranking up warnings as a ferocious weather bomb barrels towards the UK this week.
Storm Fionn is brewing over the Atlantic and could unleash powerful gusts across parts of the UK from Wednesday night into Thursday. The ferocity of these winds could cause serious damage, tossing debris and posing a “danger to life.”
Gale-force winds threaten chaos across the UK
Expect 80mph gusts strong enough to wreck buildings, with near nationwide level 1 warnings in place. Winds will strengthen over the South on Tuesday, building into a full-on battering by Wednesday.
Explosive cyclogenesis fuels ‘weather bomb’
The storm is set to intensify drastically through a process called “explosive cyclogenesis,” ripping across Britain with devastating force. While the Met Office hasn’t officially named it yet, experts are closely monitoring the situation. Storm Fionn could become the sixth named gust monster of the 2017/18 winter.
Strong wind alert across England
A weather warning for fierce winds is active across all of England from Monday evening right through Thursday morning. Stay alert and batten down the hatches!
