Strong winds are expected to hit Britain and may continue through the next few months. As per forecasters, autumn season is approaching for Britain yet possibilities of robust winds approaching can be seen.

In fact these strong winds could even que up the first named storm of the season. As per Meteorology Department, UK is expected to witness a flooding winter season this year. Particularly, Scotland and the north are the most storm hit prone areas.

If experts are to be trusted, these massive and damaging winds are expected to loom across almost entire UK throughout winters. Strong stormy weather is expected to prevail before winters would set in during the second half October across entire country.

Stormy weather system is also expected to bring locally hefty showers at times during the month. Moreover, at least one windstorm is likely to occur recently before entering into a lull phase in November.

The country will witness most active periods particularly between December and February. Thus, Britons are warned to get prepared for a stormy and wet Christmas as the weather is going to remain windy until New Year.

However, the utmost squall threat is predictable across Northern Ireland and Scotland. On the contrary, the rest of United Kingdom will be under the impact of less frequent and damaging wind events. Above-normal rainfall across the UK and Ireland will result in another winter of flooding problems.

Moreover, phases of icy weather over the next few months will bring the greatest threat of snow to Scotland and the north. Edinburgh and Sheffield are also the locations with the greatest risk for impactful snowfall.

Hence, most of the Britons may witness an unsettled October that may run through December as well. However, by the end of month, higher pressure is likely to return. This may result in drier weather, alongside, risk of some overnight fog and frost also prevails.

Temperatures will also vary through the period, but will probably be around average, perhaps just above in the south. Northern areas in contrast may see slightly below average temperatures, with an increasing risk of overnight frosts.
