Glasgow is on course for heavy rain and gales as remnants of Hurricane Lee add "extra oomph" to a low pressure system moving across the Atlantic, forecasters said.

After a week of typically autumnal weather - with foggy nights, pleasant sunshine and periods of wind and rain - more unsettled conditions look likely for the start of next week.

The stormy spell is expected to hit as Sunday fades into Monday - with extra moisture and heat from Lee adding strength to showers and winds.

As a result the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning of wind for Glasgow.

A spokesperson said: "Strong west or northwest winds are likely to affect Scotland on Monday. 

"Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely. Some bus and train journeys may be affected with some journeys taking longer.

"Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are likely while some short term interruptions to power supplies are possible."

The Met Office added the potential effects of Maria on the UK will be very different from those experienced in the Caribbean.

Forecasters said that by today these systems will have drifted away from the tropics, and as they lose connection with warmer waters they will lose this source of energy and decline.

They added that the waters in our latitudes of the North Atlantic are far too cool to sustain an actual hurricane.
