Heavy rain and gale-force winds are forecast to batter most of the UK today, bringing the threat of flooding and disruption to travellers.
After an overnight lull, strong winds are expected to return later this morning with gusts of up to 80mph in places.
A Met Office "be aware" weather warning for rain and strong winds is in place for the whole of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and central and southern Scotland.
Flooding is expected in Tayside, west central Scotland and southeast England.
The new weather system is being triggered by the Atlantic cyclone dubbed Storm Rachel.
Sky News Weather Presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "The winds will remain very strong and gusty all day, particularly around exposed western and southern coasts.
"This could cause problems to travel again, as well as structural damage and large waves across coastal areas."
In Ireland, a status red warning has been issued for exposed coastal mountain areas of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick and Kerry.
The bad weather follows snow and ice which caused disruption roads and railways on Wednesday and storms which left 120,000 homes without power in Scotland last week.
