We luckily avoided the tail end of Irene a few days ago - which was quite serious on the east coast of the US - although recent windy and unsettled conditions were associated with that storm indirectly.
On Monday 12th there is a risk of winds topping 50mph as Katia *probably* runs across the north of Scotland.
At this stage it looks like we should miss most of the rain but should still expect some heavy bursts too. Combined with strong winds and cooler temperatures it will not be pleasant.
There is still a chance the storm might drive further south, affecting northern England more seriously - or it may slow or stall further away than currently expected.
This is nonetheless a 'classic' first significant autumn storm of 2011, and a reminder that summer really is over once more.
