by The Environmentalist Staff

Residents across the United Kingdom have been warned to take cover Sunday as rare June gales are forecast to batter England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales with abnormally strong winds and rain.

The storms - with winds which could reach 65mph across northern Britain - are expected to peak around midday.

The worst affected areas are expected to be north Wales and northern England, but Northern Ireland and southern Scotland may also be affected.

BBC forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said the weather was abnormal for June.
