While we have had a relatively mild autumn so far, things are getting shaken up today by some of the most fierce gales we have seen all year. <br /> <br />Terrifying waves were filmed hammering Torquay in Devon, as a storm to the west of Britain caused a surge in volatile and dangerous weather. <br /> <br />The Met Office has issued a weather warning of extreme winds reaching up to 70mph in some parts of the country. <br /> <br />Along with the biblical winds, three inches of rains could fall within the next 24 hours, according to forecasters. <br />The west coast is expected to be hit the hardest, with severe weather warnings being issued for Wales and the south west. <br />If you’re getting excited about some great kite flying action think again, as the gloomy weather is expected to continue right through the weekend, with a full month’s worth of rain expected to fall by the time the week is through. <br />A Met Office spokesman told the Sun: ‘There are going to be some heavy showers as a front comes in, with some pretty strong winds in western parts of the country. <br /> <br />‘We could see gusts of 60 to 70mph, with some large rainfall totals over high ground.’ <br /> <br />Transport across the country is also expected to be delayed by fallen trees and localised flooding.
