Parts of northwestern Europe are on alert for a significant storm system with origins in the tropical Atlantic.
Hurricane Kirk, the 11th named storm of the 2024 hurricane season, peaked at Category 4 storm status on Thursday and has been on a gradual weakening since then. However, it will eventually target locations such as the United Kingdom and France with heavy rainfall, rough seas and damaging wind gusts.
Forecast models show impacts beginning midweek as the storm system loses its heat source from the warm Atlantic Ocean and becomes known as a post-tropical cyclone.
A post-tropical storm system is a cyclone that has lost its tropical characteristics but still maintains significant organization to produce heavy rainfall and strong winds.
