Grab your brolly! Shropshire set to get soggy and windy
Shropshire's Indian Summer has come to an end – and could be replaced by a hurricane.
High pressure throughout the region last week meant warm weather and clear skies.
But that has changed, with a distinctly more autumnal feel for this week.
And, by the end of the week, we will be hit by the remnants of Hurricane Joaquin which are currently making their way across the Atlantic.
Dean Hall, from the Met Office said: "It is all changes this week with low pressure weather, showers, thunder and far stronger winds. It is certainly a contrast to what Shropshire has been used to in the last few weeks.
"Showers will continue through today and tomorrow, but it will feel warm in any sunshine despite the wind."
The forecast for the end of the working week is improved and it will remain unseasonably mild for the time of year, but the weekend may bring with it the wrath of Hurricane Joaquin, which is moving this way from South America and the Caribbean.
Mr Hall warned that although it was too early to say for sure, Shropshire could be affected by Joaquin.
He said: "There's a lot of uncertainty surrounding this weekend with the possibility of Hurricane Joaquin coming in. There's the potential of it being quite wet and windy throughout."
Hurricane Joaquin has hit America, Barbados and Bermuda this week, destroying buildings. Rescuers are looking for a US cargo ship with 33 people on-board which went missing during the storm The hurricane will have lost much of its power on its journey across the Atlantic, but still has the potential to bring gales to our region.
