Winds of 80 miles an hour and waves of up to 50ft look set to hit the UK by Tuesday after Hurricane Katia changed course from the Caribbean with its eye set for Britain.

Forecasters are predicting fierce gusts of wind and monster waves will strike from late on Monday night with torrential rain battering much of the country.

Weathermen believe it is most likely to strike the islands off Scotland with parts of the coastline expected to be battered with torrential rain.
