As the remnants of Hurricane Kirk approach north-west Europe, the UK is set to experience unsettled weather with possible disruptive winds and rain, particularly from Wednesday onwards.
The Met Office cautions that England and Wales might see the worst of these conditions, although a southward shift could affect France more severely.
Initially category 4 in strength, Kirk will transform into a low-pressure system, with details on its exact path still uncertain.
Meanwhile, a long-range forecast indicates colder weather for Scotland and Northern Ireland, with the chance of snow on Scottish mountains.
For the weekend, a mix of sunshine and showers is expected, with temperatures reaching 17-18°C.
