Severe Storms and heavy winds forecast to batter UK
Severe Stormy weather in Yorkshire Winds of around 50mph will be typical across the UK on Monday, forecasters predict
Severe Storms are set to batter the UK on Monday, with downpours and winds of up to 65mph (105km/h) expected.
Wales and Scotland are expected to be worst hit, but it is unlikely that any region will escape the bad weather.
BBC forecasters say strong gusts could bring branches down as low pressure ushers in the autumn's first storms.
Severe weather warnings are in place in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and western counties of England, with snow and sleet forecast in some areas.
Snow flurries
BBC weather forecaster Alex Deakin said winds of 40 or 50mph would be typical on Monday, but could reach 65mph on western coasts.
Although the storms are fairly typical for the time of year, they follow a period of quite benign conditions, he added.
Parts of Wales and Scotland could see sleet on Monday, with snow flurries forecast over parts of the Scottish Highlands, Cumbria and the Peak District.
Rain is expected to spread eastwards throughout the day.
The longer-term forecast is also bleak, with storms and heavy winds likely to return by Friday after a brief respite in the middle of the week.
