UK minister Dame Angela Eagle has urged members of the public to stock up on food, warning that an emerging weather pattern could lead to extreme storms this winter, according to the BBC.
Dame Angela said the weather event under discussion could increase the likelihood of severe storms in the coming months, and encouraged households to take precautionary steps by ensuring they have sufficient food supplies on hand.
