A yellow weather warning has been initiated across the South West as the Met Office warns to expect strong winds and rain over the Boxing Day weekend.
The Met Office reports that "very windy weather is expected for parts of England, Wales and the far south of Scotland, leading to disruption to transport and utilities".
People have been told to expect road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.
Some roads and bridges may be forced to close and power cuts could occur, which in turn could affect other services such as mobile phone coverage.
For those closer to the coast, injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
The Met Office also added that some damage could affect buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs. This is expected to hit the south west from Boxing Day and last throughout the weekend.
The warning is in place from 3pm Saturday until noon on Sunday.
Today, Wednesday December 23, there is a Yellow rain warning in place across the south of England - which lasts until tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
Heavy rainfall may lead to flooding in places and disruption to travel.
The Met Office has said that there is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing hazardous conditions. Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures and there is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads.
