Britain is bracing for a travel chaos and potential flooding after a yellow weather warning was issued for heavy rain and strong gales.
The Met Office has warned of strong storms bringing torrential showers, gusty winds and lightning with heavy bursts of showers set to unleash flash floods.
Britons have been warned that the grim weather could bring travel delays and damage to buildings as well as some power cuts.
The alert comes days after remnants of Hurricane Erin rocked parts of Britain last week, after the Category 5 monster exploded in the Atlantic.
Gales are expected to rip through exposed western coastal areas, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for the south of England and eastern Scotland.
