Forecasters said the UK should brace itself for "unusual summer weather" with high-wind storms and heavy rains.

It is thought the weather would be at its worst in north-west England, Wales and the lower parts of Scotland.

Strong gusts are also expected as far south as the Bristol channel, Wales, the Midlands and parts of East Anglia.

Southern Scotland has so far seen the worst of the heavy rain, with 38mm falling in Dundrennan, on the south-western coast of Scotland.

A Met Office spokesman said the "severe gusts" could cause problems for motorists TOWING CARAVANS and high-sided vehicles.

Unfortunately for us we had to tow our caravan home from our first ever weekend away as caravanners in these horrendous stormy winds. Luckily for us our HOnda CR-V towed our Sterling Europa 460 impeccably. Unfortunately some poor fellow caravanner had their journey terminated early on the A64 at Whitwell Hill between Scarborough and York. Their caravan was on its side and it looked like their car had hit a tree. We passed an ambulance with blue lights heading their way - we hope no-one was badly hurt.
