Strong winds can cause damage to buildings, such as tiles coming off roofs, and heavy rain can lead to flooding. Public transport may be disrupted.
People are advised to stay inside as much as possible and keep internal doors closed.
Unplug any non-essential electrical items in case of power surges.
If you do have to go out, you should avoid walking next to buildings, trees and the sheltered side of walls or fences, in case of collapse.
You should not attempt to repair any damage to your property or possessions while a storm is in progress.
The RSPCA advises bringing all animals inside, external and ensuring you have sufficient food, bedding and fresh water.
Listen out for bad weather warnings on local radio and TV, and check government and news websites for the latest updates.
In you become trapped by floodwater, you should go to the highest level of the building you are in.
Avoid attic spaces due to the risk of being trapped by rising water, and only go onto the roof if absolutely necessary. Call 999 and wait for help.
