Britain is braced to hit by the worst storm for seven years - with five more coming by March.
The Met Office has announced a 'risk to life' warning as Storm Ciara made landfall this weekend, bringing gale-force winds, snow and heavy downpours.
But experts said three more storms - Storms Dennis, Ellen and Francis - are set to wreak havoc across the UK within the next two weeks.
Two other storms are predicted to land at the start of March, according to a report in Daily Star.
Meteorologist John Hammond of Weathertrending said: "Ciara is a violent start to a very wild spell, with potential for further named storms through next week.
"Impacts from rain, snow, wind and waves are likely."
There will be an increase risk of injuries from flying debris, large waves and damaged buildings. Coastal regions will be hit hard by the strong gusts.
The Met Office has an amber warning for wind in place for much of England and Wales from 8am until 9pm, while there is an amber warning for rain covering parts of Scotland.
Yellow weather warnings cover the whole UK, with the heaviest rain expected over high ground where 50-70mm is expected widely with as much as 100mm in a few locations.
Briton are also warned of floodings in low-lying areas in parts of England and Wales.
Storm Ciara also poses threats to all land, sea and air traffic as it sweeps easterly across the country.
A second storm is expected to hit on Valentine's Day which will see extreme North Atlantic air systems rampaging the British coasts before a third one strikes next Sunday.
Met Office insiders say the flurry of February storms comes from a 'super-charged high-altitude Atlantic jet-stream wind firing tempests at Britain'.
The forecaster added: "Unsettled conditions are expected to dominate to February 21, with windy conditions with spells of rain at times.
"It stays windy early next week and turns colder. The strongest winds are expected in the west. Snow is likely in the north.
"February 21 to March 6 can expect rain and strong winds at first, perhaps becoming more settled through late February and early March."
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: "There’s potential for severe weather next week, with Atlantic disturbances being catapulted towards the UK."
