Weather warnings are in place for wind and rain as Storm Gerrit sweeps across the country.
Travellers have been warned of delays and potentially hazardous conditions on their way home from the Christmas holidays, with the storm forecast to bring wintry weather for some.
Wind warnings are in place for the south of England and across the English Channel coast as well as parts of western Wales, north-west England, Northern Ireland, northern Scotland and the northern isles.
Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.
Last week, people travelling for Christmas were among those affected as Storm Pia lashed parts of the UK in the countdown to the festive season.
Wind warning areas can expect gusts of 50-60mph, with up to 70mph on high ground and exposed coasts.
There is a chance of power cuts, as well as a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded.
