Members will know that I have long said that just because a hurricane loses it’s tropical status, the National Hurricane Centre shouldn’t forget about it and given the most recent forecast track by the Centre I think this bears saying again
Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is an official National Hurricane Centre forecast track (published at 9.00am UTC this morning) indicating that at 7.00pm BST tomorrow evening, a minimum category one hurricane will make landfall in the Republic of Ireland (the first time since Hurricane Debbie in 1961). With this forecast track, the various weather media in the United Kingdom are going to have to face facts. Hurricanes, especially in the post climate changed world, will make landfall ANYWHERE and that includes the United Kingdom.
