SPAIN is bracing for the potential arrival of Hurricane Gabrielle this weekend, as the Category 3 storm currently battering Bermuda sets its sights on Europe. The hurricane, packing winds of up to 195 kilometres per hour, is moving through Atlantic waters at 17 km/h and has already begun affecting the US coastline. However, forecasters warn that its exact trajectory remains uncertain until it reaches the Azores later this week. The potential storm arrival comes as Spain grapples with dramatic weather changes that have already turned deadly. However, by then Gabrielle would most likely have transitioned into a tropical storm system rather than maintaining its current hurricane status.
