A massive storm system has developed over the North Atlantic. It has formed from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which made landfall on the US coast at the weekend.

Over the sea and along the southern coast of Iceland, the storm is reaching wind speeds of around 125 miles per hour.

The full force of the hurricane will not make landfall. However, Ireland and Scotland will feel the effects of the storm’s outer bands. At the same time, the low-pressure system is affecting wind patterns across large parts of central and south-western Europe.

With the wind shifting to the south-west, warm air is flowing into Central Europe. As a result, temperatures are rising to around 20°C. In Spain and the south of France, it will get even warmer, with highs of around 30°C.
