Strong winds of up to 70mph are set to sweep the UK in the coming days, yet again battering Hampshire and the south coast.
The conditions could continue to disrupt travel, power supplies and Storm Eunice recovery efforts, forecasters have warned.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for wind covering most of the UK on Sunday and Monday.
Sunday could see gales the same speed recorded at Heathrow Airport on Friday when thousands watched planes struggling to land on YouTube channel Big Jet TV.

Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst urged Britons to brace for more windy weather.
Speaking on Saturday, he said: “We will see a slight easing in the wind over the evening time tonight, but it’s not long before they pick up again tomorrow to lead to another windy day across the UK.
“This will have an impact on the clearing up process over the course of the day.”
Yellow weather warning for Hampshire
A yellow weather warning has been issued covering southern England and the coast from midday on Sunday, remaining in place until 3pm on Monday.
What to expect:
- Some delays to road, rail, and ferry transport are likely.
- Delays or restrictions for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely.
- It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.
- Some damage to infrastructure and trees/branches is possible, especially where made more vulnerable by Storm Eunice.
- Power outages are possible, and efforts to restore power to areas which have had interrupted supply in the wake of Storm Eunice are likely to be hampered.

It's not just overhead power lines that are affected by #StormEunice. Here on the Southern Region our electrified lines are powered by conductor rails.

National Rail has warned there is still “major disruption” to train services “across most of Great Britain”.
