Brits are being told to brace for gusts of winds up to 90mph as Storm Dudley sweeps in from the Atlantic on Wednesday morning with a "danger to life" warning in place from the Met Office.
It is expected to be a mild start to Wednesday before the winds begin to pick up before becoming "very strong and disruptive".
There is also the possibility of widespread travel chaos including a "good chance" of power cuts and disruption to transport services.
