Storm Ashley has caused travel disruption and flooding in parts of the UK with heavy rain and 80mph winds.
The first named storm of the season is likely to bring a threat of injuries and danger to life, the Met Office has said.
The river Severn burst its banks in Worcester, flooding parts of the historic city including the cricket club and streets around the cathedral.
An amber warning from 9am until midnight on Sunday was issued for the north-west of Scotland. The weather service warned that “injuries and danger to life is [sic] likely from large waves and beach material being thrown on to coastal roads, sea fronts and properties”.
A yellow warning for wind was issued for all of Scotland and Northern Ireland, and for parts of north-west England and Wales, from 3am until midnight on Sunday.
Dan Stroud, a Met Office meteorologist, said “very strong, severe gales” on Sunday coinciding with high spring tides could result in “very large waves”.

Mr Stroud said strong, gale force winds were due to continue until Monday morning, meaning “fallen debris and trees” could affect commuters at the start of the week.
A spokesman said the Environment Agency expected river levels to remain high for “the next few days” and urged nearby residents to “move possessions and valuables off the ground or to safety”.
The Environment Agency’s website listed 41 active flood warnings on Sunday morning, meaning flooding was expected, and 132 flood alerts, meaning flooding was possible.
The warnings included multiple areas of the River Severn as well as the south Cornwall coast and the Wye Estuary.
Natural Resources Wales said there were three flood warnings and 13 flood alerts in place. Sixteen flood warnings were issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), along with 17 alerts.
