Hurricane Gonzalo - which at its peak sustained winds of 110mph - caused severe damage and a power blackout when it hit Bermuda at the end of last week.
A yellow weather warning is in place across most of the UK as the storm concludes its journey across the Atlantic.
A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said 10% of flights with its biggest 20 carriers would be cancelled due to high winds.
"We do not know exactly how many passengers or flights that will have an impact on, although the cancellations are only expected for Tuesday," the spokesman said.
Flights from Manchester to the two German airport hubs have also been cancelled.
Sky's weather presenter Nazaneed Ghaffar said: "Although it will be sunny for most places, it will also feel chilly, mainly due to the winds that will be gusting up to 50mph for most places, and up to 70mph across exposed parts of the North and West.
"However, later this afternoon the winds will tend to ease from the South West and it should dry up across the Republic of Ireland and southern England later."
