Storm Wanda to bring gale force winds and heavy rain to the UK - here's what impact it will have on Portsmouth's weather

Storm Wanda is forecast to bring sustained winds to the UK this week.

The Daily Mirror reports that Met Office forecaster Dan Harris said: ‘Tropical Storm Wanda is not too far from the UK - and may indirectly influence the forecast early next week.’

It was expected that Wanda would be downgraded to a non-tropical storm, the Met Office said.

Despite it being the start of the UK/ European storm season it is called Wanda due to it starting life as a tropical storm in the Americas – the first name on the Met Office’s storm list will be Arwen.

But what impact could the storm have on the weather in the Portsmouth area this week?
