He wrote Sky News.
British authorities have sent danger alerts to several areas of the UK, warning of “danger to life and health”. This notice is in effect until 10pm on Saturday night. This applies to Cornwall, and parts of Wales, Lancashire, Cumbria, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
On Friday evening, 15 flood warnings were also sent out in England.
– Warm wind
At the same time, hot temperatures were reported in several places in Europe, and storm-prone areas were also expected to experience high temperatures. Temperatures in the east of England are expected to reach 22 degrees this weekend – which, according to Sky News, will be the highest temperature so far this year.
BBC writes that wind gusts of up to 80 km/h are expected in most hurricane-prone areas, and on the coast you can expect winds of up to 113 km/h.
British meteorologists urged travelers to plan ahead and prepare for ferry cancellations and road traffic problems caused by the storm.

– Summer is coming
In France, summer is also underway, and on Saturday, French people can enjoy temperatures of up to 30 degrees in the southeast of the country.
It was written by Le Monde.
In the north of the country, temperatures are expected to reach 25 degrees.
– The temperature is about ten degrees above normal. It’s very rare for us to reach temperatures this high at the start of April, said Tristan Amm, meteorologist at Météo-France.
According to Le Monde, temperatures of 30 degrees are most often reached between mid-May and late June in mainland France. However, climate change is causing summer to start earlier, and last longer into autumn.
Warned England
– Will be a record
Avisa wrote that temperatures in southwestern France could reach 32 degrees on Saturday, and a tropical night was forecast – with temperatures above 20 degrees throughout the day – in some places.
“Very few areas escaped the heat wave,” the paper wrote.
If the high temperatures come true, it would be a record for France as a whole, at the start of April. However, Météo-France emphasized that this could not be called a heat wave, as the temperature criterion of being above 25.3 degrees would not be reached in quite many places.
