Hurricane update - 19 September


Hurricane Gordon has intensified to a category 2 hurricane with 90 kts winds as it races towards the Azores at 28 mph. The hurricane will slowly weaken, but is still expected to carry 75 kts winds [90 mph] on traversing the Azores. Current position 630 miles west of Terceira, Azores at 38.1N 38.7W. After passing the islands, Gordon will turn into an ordinary depression and head east towards Cape Finisterre, reaching there on Thursday. By that time, it will still carry 50 kts [55 mph] winds.

The weather charts suggest that the remnant of Gordon will head towards the Western Approaches and be incorporated in the very deep low pressure system that is forming west of the Hebrides. There will be several days of very windy weather in the UK - watch the forecast closely.

Hurricane Helene will follow in the path that Florence and Gordon have tread before. That is, she will veer north, be caught up in an Atlantic low pressure system and come to haunt us here in Western Europe. Watch out for the middle of next week.

Typhoon Yagi in the Western Pacific looks set to affect Japan by the weekend as a category 3-4 system. This is however very uncertain.

    We had that wind and rain you forecast for us last week on the south coast! Luckily it arrived at midnight last night and today it's gone, leaving sunshine with a bit of cloud! Jeannette xx
