A destructive hurricane is barrelling across the Atlantic and Britain appears firmly in its sights.

With winds topping a terrifying 115mph, the powerful Category 3 Hurricane Humberto is currently interacting with a killer storm , Imelda, near Bermuda - where residents are bracing for devastating winds and perilous sea conditions.

Forecasters expect Humberto will be downgraded to post-tropical later this week, but it could still leave a trail of damaging gusts and torrential downpours when it's expected to slam into the UK at the end of the week.

According to the US National Hurricane Center, Humberto will shake off its tropical power by Thursday. The Met Office has not yet named a storm from the remnants of Humberto, but has forecast "unsettled" conditions from Friday.
