Hurricane update - 9 September

Only one hurricane on the charts at the moment: Florence. Bermuda is in its path and therefore subject to a hurricane watch / warning, which I copy below

Conditions will begin to become cloudier and windier today, with tropical storm force winds expected to affect the Island from early Sunday, and hurricane force winds forecast for Monday morning. Preparations to protect life and property should be well underway.

PLEASE RELAY

After passing over Bermuda early on Monday, Florence will veer north northeast and head into the normal westerly airlow between Canada and Western Europe. There is a fair chance that the UK might find Flo on its doorstep late next week in the shape of an intense low pressure system with high winds. This is still a very long way off, and things will become clearer after the weekend.
