The UK is bracing for the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto, which is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain next week. The Met Office has issued three yellow weather warnings for Scotland, predicting up to 15cm (6 inches) of rain in some areas and winds reaching 60mph. Heavy rain is forecast for southwest Scotland and the Lothian borders starting Monday, with potential flooding and travel disruptions. High tides could worsen coastal impacts. The jet stream's current patterns, influenced by the hurricane, are likely to make next week feel more autumnal across the UK.
