UK weather maps show strong winds are on the way. November is set to be a chilly month compared to the recent wave of warm weather we had, which many dubbed an Indian summer. However, the Met Office has warned us to expect a cold and harsh winter, and the latest weather maps are hinting at just that as they show strong winds hitting the UK next month. The weather for the coming week is expected to be changeable, but conditions will get more blustery in November according to the latest predictions.
WXCharts shows strong winds hitting the UK on November 11. Maps have turned bright purple, signalling winds between 64 and 75 miles per hour. In parts of the UK, maps turn grey, showing winds that could reach a strength of around 80 miles per hour. The UK experienced a blistering hot summer, which seems like a distant memory now with the arrival of colder and wetter weather. As per usual, some areas of the country will be worse hit than others when it comes to unfavourable weather.
The current WXCharts weather maps indicate that the worst-affected areas are located north of Scotland, much of Wales, and the southwest of England. In England, the counties with the strongest winds on November 11 are set to be Cornwall, Devon, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Gloucestershire.
Meanwhile, the worst-hit Scottish areas will be Perthshire, Angus, Kincardineshire, Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Moray, Invernesshire, Orkney, Sutherland and Caithness. Most of Wales will be hit with strong winds, but the southern coast of Wales won’t be as bad as the rest of the country.
Winds in Northern Ireland won’t be as strong as in mainland Britain. The Met Office has given its forecast for this period of November.
The forecast reads: “Unsettled conditions will probably be dominant across the UK at first, with showers or longer spells of rain for many areas and a risk of strong winds. Temperatures are expected to be around normal.
“During the second half of November, the most probable outcome is for increasing amounts of dry and fine weather, although with some overnight fog and frost. Any wetter spells are most likely to affect the north of the UK.”
Meanwhile, weather maps show temperatures as low as 1C on November 11, so there will be a chill along with strong winds.
