John Hammond explains how hurricanes can affect the UK weather
Rain and high winds are causing travel disruption, as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo hit the UK.
Gusts of up to 70mph have been recorded in north Wales and the Isle of Wight, and a Met Office wind warning is in place for much of the UK.
Some flights have been cancelled at Heathrow, but other airports are reporting no major problems.
Forecasters said gales would move east across the UK, with heavy rain in some areas and snow on some Scottish hills.
BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood said the wind could be strong enough to do "slight structural damage" to properties, as well as uprooting small trees and causing branches to fall.
She said the strongest winds on Tuesday morning would be in western Scotland, the north and east of Northern Ireland, north-west England and north Wales.
Some drivers are facing disruption on the roads due to fallen trees and high winds, and there are delays and cancellations on many ferry services.
Latest local informationHeathrow says 110 flights have been cancelled so far and that figure includes Lufthansa flights disrupted by a pilots' strike. This is less than 10% of its usual daily total of about 1,286 flights.
Among other UK airports, Gatwick said it did not "anticipate any disruption", Stansted said it was "operating normally" and Manchester said its only cancellations by 09:00 BST had been due to issues at other airports, mostly Heathrow.
Edinburgh Airport said its only cancellations by 09:00 BST were flights to Heathrow.
There have not been reports of widespread train delays, but South West Trains tweeted that it was "experiencing poor rail adhesion" - meaning "trains have had trouble accelerating as the wheels slip when applying power".
In other developments:
Gonzalo caused widespread damage and a power blackout when it hit the island of Bermuda last week, with winds of up to 110mph.
