Could Hurricane Milton become a Category 6?

Florida is preparing for potentially ‘life-threatening’ winds and storm surges from Hurricane Milton - as concerns remain over what hurricane category it will be when it makes landfall.

Tropical Prediction Scientist at the Met Office and friend of the show, Julian Heming, explains how Milton has been strengthening and weakening over the past 24 to 48 hours, and at one point there were concerns it could even reach Category 6 .

Julian also discusses the latest on Hurricane Kirk which is due to impact parts of Europe and what it all means for the UK.
