Heavy rain and gale force winds are forecast to batter most of the UK, bringing the threat of flooding and disruption to travellers.
Forecasters have predicted the weather will turn very wet and windy across much of the country - strong winds are expected to return 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.
In Ireland, a status red warning has been issued for exposed coastal mountain areas of Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.
Schools in areas at risk are closed to save staff, parents and pupils having to travel in high winds.
Some 15,000 customers in the country are without power already, with warnings that the number is likely to increase as the winds become more fierce.
In Wales, 750 homes are without power because of the strong winds.
Four flood warnings are also in place for rivers in mid-Wales, along with nearly 30 flood alerts in place.
The gale force winds and heavy rain come during a week of severe weather in the principality, which has included snow, giant hailstones and a tornado.
In England, high winds and heavy rain all along the south coast of England have caused significant delays for rail travellers on lines operated by South West Trains and South Eastern Trains, with trees and flooding blocking the tracks.
Drivers are being urged to prepare for bad weather in the coming days.
