“It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.”

Gales are the most common cause of damage and disruption in the UK. Between 1962 and 1995, 184 deaths alone were caused by building failures resulting from wind.

The majority of damage reports come from domestic dwellings.

The average cost of damage each year is at least £300 million.

The Met Office states: "Be prepared, stay safe and protect property.

"Before the storm, secure loose objects such as ladders, garden furniture or anything else that could be blown into windows and other glazing and break them."
