Britons are being warned to batten down the hatches as tempestuous weather looks set to hit the UK, bringing an abrupt end to the nation's warmest summer on record.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning as the nation braces itself to be buffeted by strong winds, heavy rain, thunder and hail tomorrow.
The alert comes days after remnants of Hurricane Erin rocked parts of Britain last week, after the Category 5 monster exploded in the Atlantic.
Gales are expected to rip through exposed western coastal areas, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for southern Scotland.
A further yellow alert for rain for the south-west of England and much of the south Wales is also in place from midnight to 2pm Wednesday.
