Gale-force wind and heavy rain is set to herald a 'major change' in the UK's weather as Storm Diana sweeps in from the Atlantic tomorrow, even posing a risk to life in some areas of the country.
The recent cold and sunny spell seen by many is set to be blown away by flooding and gales, some severe, in the middle of the week.
In response, the Met Office has issued several severe weather warnings across the UK, with strong winds and downpours expected across much of Wales, Northern Ireland, western England and Scotland.
It added there was a small chance that injuries and danger to life 'could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties' in coastal areas such as Cornwall.
Storm Diana, named by the IPMA Portuguese weather service, is currently threatening the Azores and is due to make itself felt mainly over western parts of the UK on Wednesday.
Dan Harris, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'It now looks very likely that we will see a major change in the UK's weather early in the week ahead.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
