A yellow weather warning for wind is in place for England and Wales as the UK saw its lowest temperatures since May, dropping to -1.5C in Scotland on Sunday morning.
Most of England and Wales will feel 45 to 55mph gusts and exposed locations could see these reach 70mph, the Met Office said.
A yellow wind warning will run from 8pm on Sunday to 6pm on Monday and was expanded on Friday morning to include most of England and Wales, except the north of the Lake District and far north-east.
However, the Met Office has said the weather will not be sufficiently bad to result in a named storm – the first major storm of the autumn will be named Storm Amy.
Stephen Kocher, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, said: “Strong west or southwesterly winds will arrive across coastal areas of southwest England and Wales during Sunday evening, spreading inland and eastwards during Monday morning.
“Gusts of 45-55mph are expected widely in inland areas, while gusts of 60-70mph are possible at times along exposed coasts and hills.”
Paul Gundersen, the Met Office’s chief meteorologist, said staff had been “monitoring a deepening area of low-pressure over the North Atlantic that might bring impactful weather to the UK, most likely on Sunday and Monday.”
But he added: “At present, a named storm is unlikely.”
However, the winds are strong enough to warrant the warning which runs from from 8pm on Sunday 14 September to 6pm on Monday 15 September.
The Met Office said most of England and Wales will experience 45 to 55mph gusts, while exposed locations could see these reach 70mph.
The warning, encompassing all of Wales and most of England, except north of the Lake District and far north-east, cautions that “strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power”.
It states extreme weather conditions are likely to cause some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport and delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges.
Some sea fronts, coastal routes and communities may also be affected by spray and or large waves.
And there could be a short-term loss of power and other services as a result of the high winds.

— Met Office (@metoffice) September 12, 2025Despite the warning, the Met Office had no plans to give the new weather system a storm name.
Meteorologist Graham Madge said: “There is no intention to name it, as of now.
“Obviously, we are in meteorological autumn now, it’s the sort of weather that we do expect at this time of year.
“So it’s nothing unusual, particularly – perhaps it’s just the contrast with the weather that we have enjoyed over most of the summer.”
The Met Office started giving names to storms in 2015, but only when they are likely to cause disruption or damage, which could lead to an amber or red warning.
The 21 storm names for the year September 2025 to August 2026 have already been decided, starting with Amy and ending with Wubbo, but we have yet to have our first named storm of the season.

Forecasters at the Met Office said earlier this week the UK should be braced for an autumn which is wetter and windier than normal due to weather patterns “dominated by westerly winds from the Atlantic” bringing in stormy conditions.
It comes as parts of the UK remain in drought status after an exceptionally dry spring and summer. As a result, there is a risk of localised flooding from heavy rainfall.
Caroline Douglass, from the Environment Agency, told The i Paper earlier this week that “heavy rainfall on really dry areas can actually cause flooding because really hard soil can act like concrete and rain can run off really quickly, causing flooding on roads and hard surfaces.”
By Tuesday, the winds will have died down offering more settled weather conditions.
Although Madge has warned that this could be a brief respite as another system is developing which could bring severe gales to exposed coastal locations on Wednesday.
