Isn't that above the threshold for generating hurricanes...

Will that have much of a knock-on effect on Britain?

With very little wind shear it would. However, these low wind shear
conditions don't occur so far to the north. Westerlies aloft prevent
it from happening. Anyway, these massive thunderstorms with high
winds are bad enough for the folks in Spain, France and Italy. And
just try to emagine the first full blown Genua Low this coming autumn.
That may turn pretty nasty.

I don't think so. It is rather a local effect. But talking of
deluges: The North sea is quite warm too. Who knows what will be in
store for us folks around it. Maybe we see some pretty wet episodes
in The Netherlands in the coming autumn. Time will tell.
