After making a close encounter with Bermuda, former Hurricane Humberto is traveling across the North Atlantic and will target the British Isles next week.
While the U.K. will experience warm weather and some rain late in the weekend, Humberto, currently a tropical rainstorm, will approach from the northwest on Sunday night.
Ahead of the center of the storm, a swath of rain will move into Ireland, Wales and southwestern England during the day on Monday.
Winds will begin to increase across the region on Monday evening as showers overtake all of the British Isles.
"The strongest winds are anticipated on Tuesday and Tuesday night, when gusts up to 50 mph (80 km/h) will be likely," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Edwards.
Southward- and westward-facing coasts and the highest elevations in Wales and southwestern England will be the target for the strongest wind gusts.

Winds gusts associated with Humberto will be capable of causing tree damage, as well as lead to downed trees and power lines.
The soaking rainfall is expected to continue across the country into Wednesday morning. While showery spells are expected across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, the heaviest rain be centered in Wales and southern and central England.
Localized rainfall amounts up to 50 mm (2 inches) will be possible as rainfall persists into early Wednesday.
Following Humberto, another low will approach the British Isles for the middle of the week. This may bring in more rounds of rain and another dose of gusty winds Thursday and Friday.
