04/10/2024 – The differences between hurricanes and ex-hurricanes – Met Office weather forecast UK

This is a Met Office UK explainer looking at the difference between hurricanes, ex-hurricanes and other types of low pressure that occur in the Atlantic or around the world. Why is it so unlikely for a hurricane to hit the UK? And how do hurricanes change as they move north and encounter cooler waters and the jet stream?

Bringing you this explainer video is Aidan McGivern.
