The Met Office has issued a low-level yellow weather warning has been issued for Tuesday when the storm is predicted to cause the most disruption, particularly to travel.

However, West London is expected t escape the worst of the heavy winds.

Gales of up to 60 miles per hour and heavy rain will move eastwards for around 24 hours. The worst effects will be in the North.

The Met Office said: “The remains of hurricane Gonzalo will run eastwards across the Atlantic, reaching the UK on Monday night, bringing a period of strong winds and heavy rain to the UK.

“The strongest winds are expected on Tuesday as the low pressure clears eastwards.

“Some uncertainty remains in the track and intensity, but there remains the potential for localised disruption to travel, especially as the strongest winds will coincide with rush hour in places.

“Fallen leaves impeding drainage increases the risk of surface water affecting roads, while some damage to trees is possible, given that many are still in full leaf.”

Hurricane Gonzalo last week caused widespread damage and a power blackout when it hit Bermuda.
