Sussex is set to be battered by high winds on Monday.
There are warnings of gusts of up to 80mph with the risk of trees falling and buildings being damaged.
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind for the whole day.
Their chief forecaster said: "A very intense low pressure system is forecast to run northeastwards across the country early on Monday, bringing the potential for an exceptionally windy spell of weather for southern parts of the UK.
"At the same time, persistent, heavy rain could cause some surface water flooding. At this early stage there is uncertainty about the timing, intensity and track of the low. However, the public should be prepared for the risk of falling trees as well as damage to buildings and other structures, bringing disruption to transport and power supplies.
"A strong, high-level jet is expected to engage warm low level air to give rise to a rapidly moving low pressure system later on Sunday.
"This is expected to run northeastwards, probably across England and Wales, with very strong winds on its southern and western flanks. There is the potential for gusts of over 80 mph, especially on exposed coasts, both in southwesterly winds ahead of the low and west to northwesterly winds behind it."
