Very strong winds expected to cause disruption
A yellow weather warning is in place for the East of England with "very strong winds expected to lead to some disruption", says the Met Office.
The warning is in place for Wednesday as low pressure systems move across the country to bring the risk of heavy rain, strong winds and snow in some regions.
In the east, strong winds could affect transport services and there is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, power cuts, and some roads and bridges could close.
The Met Office said a deep area of low pressure was expected to cross the UK from the west, bringing gusts of 65 to 75 mph around coasts and hills and 50 to 60 mph gusts inland.
On New Year's Day, unsettled conditions and potentially disruptive wind, rain and snow, could affect southern parts of the UK.
Chief Forecaster, Neil Armstrong, said: "With such varied and potentially fast-moving weather conditions it is important for people to keep up to date with the forecast."
