Storm Dennis will bring very strong winds and potential for disruption to many parts of England and Wales.
Though not expected to be as severe as Storm Ciara last weekend, due to already saturated ground there is a risk of further flooding.
The Met Office says there is a small chance of:
- Injuries and danger to life from flying debris and from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties
- Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
- Journey times could be longer as road, air, rail and ferry service face cancellations and roads and bridges could close.
- Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
