It looks as though the NI August Bank Holiday record temperature has been broken thanks to tropical air from ex Hurricane Erin. All change after tonight.
Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic.
It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status.
Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly.

July 6
Windy in nearly the entire country today, with gales expected across Wales, Cornwall and most of Scotland during the remainder of today heading into tonight. Some flood alerts are also active.
Big disclaimer, maybe have sworn a few times but I’ve not quite experienced a thunderstorm like this. The strongest wind gusts I’ve ever experienced by a mile! Must be a fair bit of damage from this system across the UK🤯
