A jet stream from across the Atlantic could bring winds of 80mph next week and could pose a ‘danger to life’, the Met Office\u00a0has said, in Britain’s wildest week of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 21-hour warning comes amid Storm Agnes being poised to be autumn’s first named storm as an 800 mile-wide tempest bringing hurricane-force gales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The yellow warning covers 13 regions across Britain including south-west England, north-west and north-east England, and parts of Scotland.<\/p>\n
The whole of Wales is also covered by the yellow warning which is in place from 10am on Wednesday, September 27, until 7am on Thursday, September 28.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The forecaster has warned the strong winds could cause ‘injuries and danger to life from flying debris’.<\/p>\n
Inland areas are likely to be impacted by gusts of 50 to 60mph, while some Irish sea coasts will see 65 to 75mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They could even reach 80mph on the most exposed coasts and headlands, the Met Office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Power cuts are also possible while there is also a ‘slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs’.<\/p>\n
Roads, rail, and airports could also be thrown into chaos with cancellations possible, while some roads and bridges are likely to close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said: ‘We are keeping a very close eye on things. We’ve got a very jet across the Atlantic and that’s the breeding ground for some potentially deep areas of low pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s one we are keeping a very close eye on is this area as it moves towards the UK onto Wednesday, potentially quite a deep feature as it moves towards our neck of the woods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We could potentially see some very heavy rain and also some very strong winds. Some uncertainty on this at this stage, so we are keeping a very close eye on it.<\/p>\n
‘The main advice at the moment is to keep a very close eye on the forecast.’<\/p>\n
The Met Office said ‘there is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts’.<\/p>\n
The forecaster added: ‘A deep area of low pressure is expected to approach southwest Ireland early on Wednesday, and track across northern parts of the UK before clearing early Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘There is some uncertainty on the precise track and depth of the low, however the most likely outcome at present is for a wide swathe of 50 to 60 mph gusts to affect inland areas, perhaps locally stronger over and to the lee of hills in the north.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The whole of northern England and Wales are covered by the yellow warning which is in place from 10am on Wednesday, September 27, until 7am on Thursday, September 28<\/p>\n

‘Some Irish Sea coasts could see gusts of 65 to 75 mph, with a small chance of 80 mph gusts on the most exposed coasts and headlands.’<\/p>\n
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: ‘There is a real possibility Storm Agnes could arrive. Strong winds and heavy rain could lead to disruption. The best advice is to stay up to date with forecasts.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
It comes just a week after Britain was battered by Hurricane Nigel with thunderstorms and heavy rain, just as the downpours brought by Hurricane Lee subsided.<\/p>\n
London suffered its wettest day for two years last week as Hurricane Lee soaked many areas. The capital saw two inches of rain, with seven inches in the north-west of England.<\/p>\n
And the wettest day for 50 years was recorded in parts of Devon, Met Office forecasters said.<\/p>\n
The barmy weather comes in a month which has also seen an unprecedented heatwave in the early part of September, where temperatures reached 30C for seven consecutive days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
