Yellow weather warnings have been issued across the UK as 65mph winds are set to batter Britain this weekend.
Met Office Meteorologist Helen Roberts said "some of those [showers] will be really quite heavy."Areas that are exposed to the coast will see large waves, so care is recommended in coastal communities.
Chief Operational Meteorologist at the Met Office Neil Armstrong said: “An energetic, mobile weather pattern is driving successive low-pressure systems across the Atlantic over the coming days. "With high pressure to the east of the UK these systems stall and weaken as they reach us and bring spells of rain and wind together with milder air."
The UK has recently seen warmer temperatures as spring gets underway, but that progression is set to be halted this weekend.Meteorologists said it was one of the worst storms in 30 years and was likened to the Great Storm of 1987, which famously destroyed nearly all the trees in Sevenoaks and claimed the lives of 18 people.
Storm Eunice led to the deaths of 10 people across the UK and parts of western Europe, including Germany and the Netherlands, as wind speeds reach as high as 122 miles per hour, the fastest ever recorded in the country.
