A wind warning issued earlier this week has been expanded to cover much of the country
Strong winds are set to batter most of England and Wales on Sunday, but a weather expert has dampened any speculation that the first named storm of the year is on its way.
Both countries will feel 45 to 55mph gusts this weekend, and exposed locations could see these reach 70mph, the Met Office has said.
A yellow wind warning will run from 8pm on Sunday to 6pm on Monday.
This alert was expanded on Friday morning to include most of England and Wales, except the north of the Lake District and far north-east.
The warning predicts transport delays and that large waves will affect coastal areas, with short-term power cuts possible.
Sunny spells and scattered showers - some blustery and thundery - are expected to move across the UK on Saturday, before the west and south-westerly winds hit.
It will be a chilly night in the far north with possible grass frosts and fog in Scottish glens as well as sheltered Lake District and North Pennines valleys, meteorologists predict.
Met Office spokesman Graham Madge said on Friday morning: "There is no intention to name it, as of now.
"Obviously we are in meteorological autumn now, it's the sort of weather that we do expect at this time of year."
He added: "It's nothing unusual, particularly - perhaps it's just the contrast with the weather that we have enjoyed over most of the summer."
The winds will start to ease from the west on Monday afternoon and Tuesday should see a lull to the disruptive weather.
However, Mr Madge pointed out that another system is developing which could bring severe gales to exposed coastal locations on Wednesday.
This will have less of an impact than Sunday and Monday's weather front and he added it's too early to tell where it will impact.
Amy was the most popular female name submitted to the UK's national weather service after a public appeal for names for the 2025 to 2026 storm season was put out in June.
The appeal saw thousands of people come forward with the names of their pets, loved ones or movie and TV characters.
