WEATHER forecasters are advising people to take extra care after they issued a weather warning for high winds.
The Met Office has issued a severe yellow weather warning as Storm Freya approaches the UK, bringing heavy gales and possible travel disruption.
Dangerous weather conditions and winds travelling at up to 80mph are expected to hit land later this afternoon.
Forecasters say flying debris and large waves could cause injuries, while trees could also be uprooted.
Possible hazards include tiles being blown from roofs, fallen branches, and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts.
People living in coastal areas are especially likely to be affected.
The Met Office say the weather could lead to problems for commuters early tomorrow morning.
