The UK has been hit by a string of storms in a matter of days with Dudley, Eunice and now Franklin causing death, damage and destruction.
A yellow warning of strong winds was put in place for Sunday night through to Monday morning.
And the Met Office says more bad weather could be on the way with gales possible, and the potential for snow in parts of the UK. If the next system becomes a storm, it will be named Storm Gladys.
The Met Office says after the yellow warning expires on Monday, more heavy rain is forecast for Tuesday.
The forecasters say a ban of cloud and rain, locally heavy at first in the north, will clear later in the day.
For later in the week they forecast: "Wednesday mainly dry south and east; elsewhere, heavy rain followed by wintry showers. Thursday cold with blustery sleet/snow showers, sunny spells between. Friday fine with some sunshine and lighter winds."
For the end of this month, up to March 6, the forecast reads: " The north and northwest are likely to see the wettest and coldest conditions, with spells of rain and hill snow interspersed with periods of sunshine and showers. The south and southeast will generally be less windy and more settled, but there is still likely to be some rain at times. Winds are also likely to be strong throughout the period, with gales or severe gales possible almost anywhere, but especially in the north."
And the strong winds could last through the first half of March. The Met Office says: "Winds are likely to remain strong across the north and northwest, with the southern areas seeing less windy conditions. "
