Brits have been warned to beware of flying debris causing danger to life later this week amid strong 80mph winds, with the chance of power cuts looming.
The Met Office's warning affects millions of people in Wales, the North West, North East and Yorkshire in England, as well as all of Scotland.
Northern Ireland is also set to be hit by the strong winds, with the yellow warning set to come into force for all of Wednesday.
The Met Office wrote: "There is a chance of a deep low pressure system bringing gusts of 70 to 80 mph to northern parts of the UK on Wednesday.
"Should this develop disruption would be expected. However, the most likely scenario is for gusts of 55 to 65 mph within parts of the warning area, most likely the northern Irish Sea and parts of eastern Scotland, bringing some more localised impacts.
"In addition, heavy rain may prove an additional hazard across northwestern areas."
Brits have been warned to expect flying debris, bringing a small chance of injuries and danger to life.
There is also the possibility of damage to homes and buildings, with roof tiles set to go flying.
Power cuts could also occur, with mobile phone coverage at risk of failing for some.
A separate yellow warning is in place across western Scotland on Tuesday for heavy rain with spray and flooding set to make nightmare journeys for people.
The Met Office added: "Rain will turn heavy and persistent across western Scotland during the early hours of Tuesday, clearing southeast during the morning.
"Widely 30 to 50 mm of rainfall is likely with perhaps 80 mm over some of the mountains."
Today outbreaks of rain is expected to move eastwards across southern England and the far south of Wales this morning, clearing by the afternoon.
Most other parts dry with sunny spells, but breezy and showery for northern Scotland.
It comes after Brits were battered by heavy rain and gale force winds as the impact of Hurricane Ian hit the country and gusts peaked at 94mph in the Scottish Highlands.
The Category 4 hurricane made landfall on the western coast of the US on Wednesday, hurling boats onto shore and completely destroying buildings with 150mph winds.
At least 21 people have lost their lives from the storm while around two million people in Florida have been left without electricity.
And a knock-on effect from the hurricane on the cross-Atlantic jet stream has started to cause adverse weather to the UK with a gale of 94mph having been recorded on Cairn Gorm in the Scottish Highlands on Friday morning.
The heaviest rain and fastest winds have impacted northern Scotland, as the hurricane sweeps an area of low pressure across Britain.
