Hurricane Erin makes for an uncertain weather forecast
The bank holiday weekend for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is just around the corner, but what does the weather have in store? Like much of the summer, which is likely to be one of the hottest on record, high pressure looks to be in charge, which will keep things mostly settled on Saturday and Sunday. It'll be largely dry, with some sunshine, but a few showers can't be ruled out. Bank holiday Monday may well be similar, but details are more uncertain, as some computer models bring rain to southern and western parts. After a cooler few days, temperatures are set to rise over the weekend, but they'll still be a long way off the record for the August bank holiday, which stands at 33.3C back in 2019. Check the weather forecast where you are Instead, temperatures will widely reach the low to mid-twenties, but North Sea coasts could well stay disappointingly cool, with more cloud and an onshore breeze. There are signs that the weather will turn more unsettled after the long weekend, but exactly when and how much rain is seen will depend on what happens with the remnants of Hurricane Erin, a tropical storm currently to the east of the Bahamas. There is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast, which often happens at this time of the year when the Atlantic hurricane season picks up.

Hurricane Erin could bring 16ft waves to British Isles
Hurricane Erin could bring waves as high as 16ft to the British Isles, the Met Office has warned. Wet and windy weather, including thundery showers, could hit the UK from Wednesday next week, worsening on Thursday and Friday as the potential impact of Erin is felt. Tom Morgan, a Met Office meteorologist, said: 'It is too early for specific details about which parts of the country will see the windiest and wettest weather. 'What we can say is that it will gradually turn less hot and be more generally changeable.' He added: 'We are also likely to see some very large waves. Ex-hurricane Erin will bring quite a large swell in the sea so we could potentially see waves of four to five metres in height for the western isles of Scotland and Ireland and so for holidaymakers going to the coast, that could prove quite a hazard.' Earlier this week Erin had lost some strength from previous days and dropped to a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 105mph, the National Hurricane Centre in Miami said. By Tuesday it was about 650 miles (1,050km) south-west of Bermuda. Rough ocean conditions along the US east coast led to at least 60 swimmers being rescued from rip currents on Monday at Wrightsville Beach, near Wilmington, North Carolina. Currently UK temperatures are on the rise and could reach around 24C or 25C in a few spots on Sunday, across many regions anywhere from the south of England up to the east of Scotland. Mr Morgan said: 'It's looking fine, dry and there will be quite a bit of warm sunshine around, particularly on Sunday and on bank holiday Monday. 'For festivals and outdoor events, the weather should not cause any disruption. 'It's looking very summer-like and really pleasant to warm for most.'

Hurricane Erin could bring wet weather to UK in coming days, Met Office says
Forecasters are tracking the potential impact of Erin, which is currently a category two storm moving eastwards across the North Atlantic, but say any effect on the UK would not happen until at least the middle of next week. Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: 'It is too early for specific details about which parts of the country will see the windiest and wettest weather. Hurricane Erin is moving northwards between Bermuda and the east coast of the USA 🌀 It will head across the Atlantic this weekend and lose its hurricane status Exactly how it then impacts the UK weather next week will depend on it's precise path…. one to watch 👀 — Met Office (@metoffice) August 21, 2025 'What we can say is that it will gradually turn less hot and be more generally changeable.' It means there could be thundery showers from Wednesday and 'more especially' on Thursday and Friday next week at which point the weather system will officially be an ex-hurricane. Mr Morgan added: 'We are also likely to see some very large waves. 'Ex-hurricane Erin will bring quite a large swell in the sea so we could potentially see waves of four to five metres in height for the western isles of Scotland and Ireland and so for holidaymakers going to the coast, that could prove quite a hazard.' He warned this potentially unsettled weather is still 'a long way in the future' and a spell of sunshine is due over the coming days for the long Bank Holiday weekend in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Earlier this week Erin had lost some strength from previous days and dropped to a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 105mph, the National Hurricane Centre in Miami said.
