“Into the following week, a broadly westerly type looks most likely, with further weather systems running in from the Atlantic,” the Met Office said.

Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said they were “keeping an eye” on Humberto and Imelda, adding the latter was more intense due to its location close to land.

Temperatures would remain close to average during the day and overnight frost could not be ruled out.
