Gale-force winds and torrential rain are set to batter much of the UK and Ireland as the remains of Hurricane Gonzalo makes landfall.
Gusts of around 80mph are forecast in some parts, and the Met Office has issued a "yellow" weather warning for every region on Tuesday, when the storm is expected to cause the most disruption, particularly to travel.
While Monday night will see wet and windy conditions sweeping eastwards, the strongest gales are expected as the rain clears on Tuesday morning.
The Met Office said: "The remains of Hurricane Gonzalo are running across the Atlantic, reaching the UK on Monday night, bringing a period of strong winds to the UK.
"Gusts exceeding 55mph are likely inland, with 60 to 70mph gusts in some exposed coastal areas in the west and possibly to around 80mph around coasts in northern Scotland.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel and possible damage to trees.
"Difficult driving conditions will result, perhaps exacerbated by surface water and spray in places."
The strongest winds will coincide with the morning rush hour in places.

Forecasters for the Republic of Ireland said it would become "very wet and windy" across the country on Monday night, with gales later.
Hurricane Gonzalo last week caused widespread damage and a power blackout when it hit Bermuda.
Royal Navy ship HMS Argyll, with a crew of some 180 sailors, has arrived at the tiny British territory to help with the relief effort if needed.
