Hurricane Gabrielle is predicted to wreak yet more wet and wild weather on the UK.

The tropical storm is gathering speed with weather models showing Gabrielle raging eastward across the Atlantic towards Europe.

The hurricane took a dramatic right turn from Bermuda and is being tracked to hit the Azores in Portugal,where locals have been urged to take defensive measures.

This weekend,we will see if Hurricane Gabrielle unleashes yet more grim weather on the UK.

We’ve already seen above average rainfall in September – the most since January according to the Environment Agency (EA) – and Gabrielle could result in yet more cold,wet and blustery weather for Brits.

Cooler weather,especially in mornings,has been predicted and already in Edinburgh Gogarbank,Scotland,the temperature has dropped to – 0.3c.

Hurricane Gabrielle is likely to weaken over the weekend – but it could still have disruptive effects in Europe including the UK (Picture: AccuWeather)
