Hurricane Erin is set to move across the Atlantic - bringing wind and rain to Britain at the start of next week following a sunny 24C Bank Holiday weekend, forecasters say.

The major category 3 hurricane is currently 675 miles southwest of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 120mph, according to the US National Hurricane Center.

The system is forecast to remain out in the ocean, then the remnants could be seen in the UK by late Sunday - bringing big waves to the country's east coast.

The Met Office said there is a risk of rain developing and then the weather is expected to turn increasingly unsettled by the early to middle part of next week.

Windy weather could be accompanied by heavy downpours, with forecasters monitoring it to decide whether to issue any rain warning nearer to the time.
