Some bus and train services could be affected alongside delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport expected- so journeys could take longer than usual.
Coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves. There will also be delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.
There is also a small chance of injuries and danger to life that could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
