What is the latest storm Erin update for the UK?
The Met Office expects the remnants of hurricane Erin 2025 to pass between Iceland and Greenland by midweek.

No weather warnings are currently in force for England, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Southern and eastern parts of the UK will remain dry and bright.
