Another storm is on its way, just a week after Storm Ciara caused havoc across the UK.
This time, Storm Dennis could be bringing heavy rain and wind gusts of between 40mph and 55mph.
The Met Office has today issued a yellow weather warning for wind for Saturday. It covers most of England.
And there will be unsettled weather in the run-up to the weekend. The weather service has predicted heavy rain on Thursday morning from 6am, which is expected to ease later in the day
Steve Ramsdale, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, says Storm Dennis is currently not expected to be as severe as Ciara.
Heavy rain and sleet also fell yesterday. Pictured is Baldwins Lane in Croxley Green at around 6pm on Monday

He said: "Another spell of very wet and windy weather is expected for Saturday, although Storm Dennis is currently not expected to be as severe as Ciara, disruption is still likely.
"With further warnings possible over the next few days people should keep up to date with the Met Office forecast using our website, app or by following us on social media."

The Met Office's weather warnings reads: "Very strong winds in association with Storm Dennis are expected on Saturday across many parts of England and Wales. Gusts of 50 mph are expected widely inland, with around 60 mph in places.
"Around the coasts, especially in the west and south, gusts of 60-70 mph are likely. This will be accompanied by heavy rain at times."
Trees fell across the region on Sunday, as Storm Ciara struck, and there was also some flooding in rural areas.
