We will not be hit by a hurricane!
Michael Fish was correct, we were NOT hit by a hurricane! They are just in a certain areas - and unless Britain has moved since I last checked, we are not in the Tropics (where hurricanes and typhoons happen!)
We did have hurricane strength winds, but that does not mean we had a hurricane! After all, a hurricane has winds over 75mph - but just because you have a wind over that speed does not mean you have a hurricane!
However, in answer to your question, I very much doubt that we will have winds of over 100 mph (and even if we do, it still will not be a hurricane!)

do you mean remnants of hurricane gordon? haven't heard of that storm, I didn't even realise Britain was susceptible to such dramatic weather. Hurricanes get their energy from the ocean. From the heat coming off the ocean, to be specific. That is why they lose much of their power once they hit land. As to hitting Britain, I suppose it would depend on how warm the Atlantic is. If there is a lot of heat retained in the Gulf Stream, I suppose it is possible that Britain could be slammed, but it is my understanding that the Stream is cooling, not warming.

I live in central Scotland and in the last 10 years we have had 3 storms where the wind has reached greater than 100mph. The really powerful storms in the UK always come in the winter, which is better as there are no leaves on the trees so they don't get pulled down. Even 70mph when the trees are still full of leaves could cause lots of damage.

It would have weakend by the time it reaches us. I think Ireland will bear the most of its force.
