Storm Otto is set to bring disruption today as parts of the UK could be hit by ferocious gale-force winds.
The storm - named by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) - will hit almost all of Scotland and much of north-east England from the early hours of Friday morning.
In a yellow weather warning, the Met Office said there could be "danger to life" posed by flying debris and advised drivers of high-sided vehicles to exercise caution.
