UK weather: Flood warning as big waves and 70mph winds to batter Britain in wake of Storm Ophelia
Strong winds and big waves will batter Britain's coast just days after Storm Ophelia wreaked destruction.
Gusts of 50mph are expected widely across southern England and the west of Wales on Saturday, and winds could reach 70mph in exposed areas.
The wild weather, caused by a low pressure system moving in from the Atlantic ocean, may cause coastal flooding and affect transport, the Met Office said.
A yellow weather warning for wind has been issued in affected areas, valid from 4am to midnight on Saturday.
Met Office forecaster Helen Roberts said: "We've got a spell of strong winds which is likely to bring some large waves as well.
"So there's the potential for some coastal flooding in places and transport disruption."
