A US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) map shows tropical Storm Wanda is expected to bring sustained winds to the country by Tuesday. However, heavy winds are set to strike the north of England after Scotland’s gale force winds by 3pm today.

According to WXCharts maps, the pressure from the northwest will begin to push the heavy winds battering Scotland down the west of England.

By 3pm, 94km/h gusts will be felt in Aberdeen, with Newcastle and Manchester being blustered by 62km/h gusts.

Storm Wanda is also expected to “indirectly influence the forecast for early next week” according to the US NHC.

WXCharts maps show much of Britain sees 50km/h gusts by 9pm on Monday, with potential for 62km/h winds at the north of Wales in parts of the northeast coast of England.
