Warm spell for UK as Gonzalo threat weakens Hurricane Gonzalo has already made an impression in the Atlantic but current forecasts suggest its impact on the UK, if any, will be minimal. Scroll down to see the track of the storm in relation to the British Isles. ![]() Bermuda A view of boats in Bermuda Friday morning before Gonzalo. (Instagram/jretl) The Weather Channel's chief meteorologist, Leon Brown, said: "Worst case, if the remains of Gonzalo reach the UK, will be a spell of fresh to strong winds and rain, but nothing severe. "The storm may yet dissipate in the mid Atlantic and not even approach the UK." ![]() Before that, a large Atlantic depression to the west is likely to bring a band of rain across the country but also some mild temperatures. There could be some strong winds in western parts while there is the potential for flooding as the rain gets heavier. Temperatures in the south over the weekend may reach as high as 21C. Meanwhile, Hurricane Gonzalo has left its mark across the Caribbean, killing one person in St. Maarten, disrupting travel and causing structural damage to homes in Antigua and the Caribbean islands. The storm killed one elderly man in the Dutch Caribbean territory of St. Maarten who was aboard a boat in Simpson Bay Lagoon. Over 20 boats sunk in the Lagoon during the storm. "It was a big storm, much bigger than people predicted, and a lot of bad things happened," Susan Cuniff, who runs a hotel in front of the Lagoon said. "Boats crashed into each other and trees were downed and even the zoo was decimated." Two more people are missing, one man who was last seen on a boat near the French Carrbbean territory or St. Martin and another man standing near a harbour in St. Barts.
