Could Hurricane Erin Hit the UK? Here’s What’s Really Coming

WooGlobe

Is Hurricane Erin heading straight for the UK? Not quite. In this video, we break down the facts behind the storm’s journey across the Atlantic. While it’s making waves along the US East Coast right now, Erin is expected to weaken significantly before reaching British shores. By the time it arrives, it’ll be no more than a typical low-pressure system — bringing some wet and windy weather, but nothing out of the ordinary.  We also dive into why the UK can never be hit by a real hurricane, and how cooler Atlantic waters strip these storms of their tropical power. Don’t fall for the headlines — here’s what’s really going on.  :calendar: When is the UK likely to feel the impact? :water_wave: What causes a hurricane to weaken? :tornado: And how does this compare to past ex-hurricanes like Ophelia?

00:00Did you hear about Hurricane Aaron heading toward the UK?

00:03Here's the real story.

00:04While it is moving east across the Atlantic, Aaron won't reach the UK as a hurricane.

00:09In fact, by the time it gets close, it'll just be a deep, low-pressure system.

00:13No tropical storm.

00:15No hurricane winds.

00:16Just classic, unsettled British weather.

00:19For now, Aaron is lashing the U.S. east coast with dangerous rip currents and storm surges.

00:24But by the weekend, it'll weaken into a tropical storm.

00:27By early next week, it loses its tropical punch completely.

00:31Still, it could bring wet and windy spells to the UK next week,

00:35something we often see from ex-hurricanes around this time of year.

00:39But don't buy into the hurricane hype.

00:41The cooler North Atlantic waters just can't fuel storms like the Caribbean can.

00:45That's why the UK will never get a real hurricane.

00:48So, while Aaron may sound dramatic,

00:51it's shaping up to be nothing more than your typical late-summer storm.

00:54Maybe just hold onto your umbrellas a little tighter.

00:58Thereof.
