'Weather forecasters are warning of stormy conditions in England and Wales on Sunday night and Monday.
A Met Office amber alert for high winds in southern Wales, southern England, much of the Midlands, the East, and London and the South East is in place.
There is concern about possible heavy rain, falling trees, building damage and gusts of up to 80 mph (120 kph), or possibly higher on exposed coasts.
The Met Office said the predicted storm was not one "you would see every year".
It says 20-40mm (0.80-1.6 ins) of rain might fall within a period of six to nine hours across all areas'.
