Gale force winds and heavy showers are set to pummel the UK as the remnants of tropical Storm Alex sweep the country.
The winds, which are expected to peak on Saturday, will stretch from western Scotland down to south-east England.
The unsettled weather comes as a result of former tropical storm Alex, the Atlantic's first named storm this year, which killed three people in Cuba at its peak. Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said: "This weekend's quite windy - unseasonably windy actually. "So that is a little bit odd... This time of year you don't really get quite such vigorous low pressure systems affecting the UK."
