In affected areas, the Met Office is warning drivers could become stranded, while rail and air travellers face likely cancellations and delays.
Rural communities could find themselves cut off as well, with power cuts likely and possible disruption to other services including mobile phone networks.
Another amber warning has been issued in Cornwall, where the Met Office is predicting winds of up to 90mph, and warning that “flying debris is likely” which “could lead to injuries or danger to life”.
Buildings could be damaged too, the agency predicts, with large waves threatening further injuries and risk to life along coastal roads and seafronts.
