A category 1 hurricane is moving across the Atlantic Ocean and could hit the UK next week.
According to the National Hurricane Centre in Miami, Hurricane Leslie is beginning to turn northwards into the Atlantic Ocean.
It is currently battering parts of the southern US, Bahamas and Bermuda packing winds of 80 miles per hour.
The Met Office says there are many possible outcomes for the hurricane. It could pass over the UK or could change direction.
Before the possible hit from Hurricane Leslie, the south of the UK is set to bask in warmer than average temperatures.
Simon Patridge, a Met Office forecaster told the Standard: “Today, in the south and east of the UK, temperatures will be around 21C, around three degrees warmer than average. In the west it will be a cloudy day while there will be sunshine in the south east.”
While the south feels the warmer weather, parts of the north of England and Scotland will be hit with a band of rain.
Looking forward to the weekend, it will be remarkably colder with temperatures in the north on Sunday dropping to 10C.
Mr Partridge said: “On Saturday the south east will be cooler with temperatures reaching around 12-14C.
“While on Sunday there will be frost, and some patches of rain across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
“Further south it will be brighter and drier due to winds dropping with temperatures reaching highs of 15C.”
Next week will continue with a similar pattern, according to the Met Office.
