A spell of warm weather could be heading to Britain due to Hurricane Dorian, experts have said.
The Met Office said the powerful category 4 storm currently battering the Bahamas will move up towards Greenland and Iceland and will send a "plume of warmer air to the British Isles".
Spokesman Grahame Madge said: "It won't be a heatwave but we could see a rise in daily temperatures - up to 24 degrees in about 10 days' time."
Mr Madge says Britain will experience below average temperatures for September up until that point, meaning the "the warm spell will be welcome".
"It will be a noticeable increase in temperature," he added.
Hurricane Dorian is wreaking havoc along America's east coast, unleashing massive flooding and causing mass devastation in the Bahamas.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina were ordered to evacuate, with the National Hurricane Center predicting the storm would batter the state, regardless of its exact path and centre.
At least five people have been killed in north-eastern Abaco, which is bearing the brunt of one of the Atlantic’s most powerful storms.
